Twinverclyde Welcomes Nine New Twin Sets | Glasgow News

Nine sets of twins are set to begin primary school in Inverclyde this year, earning the quirky nickname ‘Twinverclyde’ thanks to the area’s unusually high twin birth rate. At a special welcome event hosted by the local council at Ardgowan Primary School — part of a decade-long tradition — families gathered as teachers prepared for the new term, which kicks off August 18th. Three schools alone will see double: Ardgowan, St Michael’s, and Gourock, each welcoming two twin sets, while others join schools across Greenock and Port Glasgow. Council education convener Jim Clocherty praised the schools’ recent renovations and called the event a fun pre-schooling ritual for parents. Since 2013, Inverclyde has welcomed 176 twin sets — about 12 per year — making this year’s group another milestone in a unique local phenomenon.
