Born in 1967, Gary Robertson has lived and worked in Dundee all of his life. A factory man and self-confessed fitness fanatic, he also finds time to play the bagpipes in between family life. His love of writing, in particular poetry, has led him to performing regular live spots locally. Together with another Dundonian poet, Mark Thompson, he formed Tribal Tongues, a street poetry partnership characterised by energetic live performances. He is married to Sue and they have two children, Cailean and Eilidh.

Dundee in the 1970s was a fearsome place where gangs ruled the city's schemes. Territory was everything and frequent, bloody battles were fought over turf. DUNDEE COURIER
