If you are Edinburgh born and bred or have lived in here for any length of time, chances are you are familiar with at least a few of the city's numerous youth gangs.
Referred to locally as young teams, many of these gangs go back decades, with names such as the Young Leith Team (YLT), Tollcross Rebels (TCR) and Cleri Jungle among some of the most well-known.
At the height of the young team movement in the 1970s and 1980s, practically every district of the capital was represented by at least one or more of gang and outbreaks of violence between rival factions was very common.
