Emma and Vivien McAinsh, 17, Joseph and Michael Lowrie, 17, and Niamh and Roisin Kelly, 16, all attend St Ninian’s in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire.
In total they notched up 30 top grades – and some had sibling rivalry to thank.

I would not have worked as hard if Niamh hadn’t forced me to, so, it actually came in handy
Roisin said: “I would not have worked as hard if Niamh hadn’t forced me to, so, it actually came in handy.”
Niamh added: “I’d study and she’d not.”
Emma said: “I think it motivated us both to work harder.”

Like thousands of students across the country, the pupils received their results by text.

Roisin said: “I was really nervous because Niamh had done so well.

“I didn’t get my message until much later in the day, so it made it much more nerve-racking and my sister was reassuring me that I would have got the same as her.
“When I eventually got the results, I was just so relieved.”
Michael added: “We didn’t know what each other had got so it was a bit nervous in our house, so we were delighted to have got the results.”
