The twins were born near Glasgow and were brought to the court of King James III at an early age.

They were well treated and well educated. They spoke and read several different languages. They were renowned for their singing grand duets – one would sing tenor and the other bass.

It was said that the two often argued and physically fought.

The Scottish Brothers of the 15th century were purportedly of the dicephalus categorization of conjoined twins, meaning two heads on one body.
