Description
Dundee's transformation in the aftermath of World War II had a profound impact on its social landscape. As housing schemes were built to address overcrowding, they eventually became breeding grounds for street gangs. By the 1960s, these groups had grown increasingly violent and by the 1970s, they had taken control of the city's streets. The legacy of Dundee's gang culture continues to be felt today, with some of the most notorious gangs still operating in the city. This book provides a unique insight into the history of one such group, the Kirkton Huns, and their enduring presence on the streets of Dundee. Gary Robertson's account offers a gripping and thought-provoking look at the rise and fall of these groups, and the lasting impact they have had on the city and its people.
