The kids were alright in early '80s Edinburgh, as these incredible photos of young mods on the capital's streets show.
Taken in 1981, they capture a band of youngsters who had clearly been swept up by the UK's mod revival explosion sparked for the most part by the release of the film Quadrophenia a couple of years earlier.
Obsessed by the subculture, the fashion-conscious youths, who were still of secondary school age, are seen dressed head-to-toe in fishtail parkas and luxury knitwear and sporting haircuts reminiscent of their heroes in bands such as The Who and The Jam. One young mod is even seen riding what would've surely been his prize possession: a Lambretta scooter.
