Ten sets of twins are set to start primary school in Inverclyde this week - marking the fourth consecutive year the twin count has hit double figures in the region.
Dubbed "Twinverclyde" for its high volume of twins, the 20 children will start at various schools in the local authority area on Friday.
The council's record was set in 2015, when 19 sets began primary school.
This year marks the fourth in a row of 10 or more sets starting P1 in Inverclyde, with double figures in 10 out of the last 12 years.

The lowest since then was in 2018, when just four pairs of twins began school.
