VIDEO: Double delight as Lucy and Holly win duet contest

It was double delight for the Smith family at the Mod yesterday as twins Holly and Lucy won the David CB Maitland memorial trophy for singing a duet.

The 15-year-olds, who look very alike but have different-coloured hair, sang in the contest for 13-18-year-olds in St Andrew’s Church in Fort William.

Even though the twins, from Falkirk, don’t speak Gaelic, it is the second time they have won a duet competition at the Mod.

Their mum, Rhona, said: “They won a duet contest last year but it was in the under 19-year-olds section. My parents are from Barra and both speak Gaelic, so they have been a big influence on the girls. We have a house on the island and spend a lot of time there.”
