School pupils on Arran have been receiving their exam results after envelopes dropped into post-boxes and email in-boxes on Tuesday.
Early analysis of the results across North Ayrshire show a very encouraging picture with S4 pupils achieving their best results to date and S5 and S6 pupils also continuing the trend with more pupils achieving higher qualifications.
Arran councillor John Bruce, cabinet member for education, attainment and achievement, said: ‘We would like to congratulate all of our young people who have shown a great deal of effort and commitment throughout the year to achieve the results they have received today. They should all be very proud of their efforts.
