I think this was a photo taken to celebrate all the sets of twins that have been born in Orkney.

It's a special 'Twins Event' at the Lynnfield Hotel. According to my records (such as they are) it was in 1995, but I find it hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Incidentally, my camera at the time wasn't wide-angle enough to include everyone in one shot, so I cobbled two prints together using a craft-knife and glue (I didn't have a computer/scanner/printer then). The photo above was scanned from the cobbled print and manipulated slightly to disguise the join. I should really have scanned the original negs, cropped and photomerged them, but life's too short . . .

Was this not to celebrate the oldest living twins 90th birthday.( The Budge Twins, Mrs Garrioch and Mrs Taylor. I might be wrong about second name though.)

I think Anonymous is right about it being a celebration based on the oldest twins' birthday.
