Around 20,000 pupils across Tayside and Fife will see their long-awaited exam results drop through their letter boxes on Tuesday.

Across Scotland 140,000 exam certificates are being delivered to pupils from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).

More than 4,000 will be delivered to pupils in PH postcode area, more than 9,000 in KY and almost 7,000 in the DD area.

Postmen and women all over the country have been “pulling out all the stops” to ensure the eagerly awaited results arrive as quickly as possible.

Royal Mail will be ensuring young Scots across the world will also be getting their certificates. From Andorra to Australia and from Spain to Singapore, Royal Mail will be working with other delivery agencies  across the world to deliver some results to 45 countries.

Derek Keir, Royal Mail’s head of special events planning, said: “This is a massive day for every pupil in Scotland, waiting for their results.

“All of our postmen and women, many of whom have children themselves, understand just how important this day is for families. Our people pull out all the stops to ensure the results are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible.

“Royal Mail is used to handling large mailings, having recently delivered all of the postal votes and poll cards for the recent Scottish Parliament elections and the European Union referendum.

“We have worked successfully with the SQA on exam result delivery for many years now and we are delighted to be playing our part in this special day once again.”

Every year Royal Mail works closely with the SQA in the build up to the results day to ensure the delivery of results runs smoothly. Special Royal Mail planning teams have been working for many months to ensure that pupils get their results.
