Edith Ritchie and Evelyn “Evie” Middleton have been named by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living twins… well they are 102-years-old.

Born on 15 November 1909, the pair from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, whose maiden name was Rennie, were born on a farm near Newburgh when Edward VII was on the throne. After leaving school, the non-identical twins worked on farms before leaving to start their own families and had a total of 32 grandchildren between them.

The sisters say they have remained close throughout their life and now live together at Bonnyton House care home in Aberdeenshire, adding that they are still the best of friends.
