The long wait for pupils waiting for their exam results on Arran is over as letters dropped through letterboxes on the island earlier this week.
Across Scotland around 136,500 exam certificates, more than 3,200 of them for North Ayrshire, started arriving on Tuesday as postal workers throughout the country started to deliver the Scottish Qualifications Authority certificates.
Some pupils received the results of their Nationals, Highers and Advanced Highers by email or text message, alleviating the anxious wait for the postal certificates.
