Scotland's first ever set of live reindeer twins has been born in Aviemore.

The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd witnessed the birth after 66 years in reindeer herding.

Born just two weeks ago, the calves are the second known case in the world of twin reindeers surviving birth.

The herders have had three previous sets of twins - two sets were stillborn in 2008 and 2015, and 30 years ago one calf was born stillborn and the other only survived for 12 hours.

The twins' mother, Lulu, is one of the older females in the herd, at 12 years old.

All three are said to be doing well after the birth, feeding both equally.

The herders are keeping a close eye on the twins, and helping with bottle feeding just to make sure they're getting enough milk.

Spending the first two weeks in their mountain enclosure, the herders said that they are pleased with the progress, but are "remaining realistic", saying: "Summer time is crucial for keeping an eye on reindeer, with biting insects causing illnesses which the twins will be more susceptible to.

"Their first six months are going to be a rocky road, however, we feel they have rallied through their first two weeks so this amazing news can go public."
