Scottish hard bastards

Meet the hardest men from a country where the streets are the most dangerous and the men are the toughest in Britain.

The street warfare they have been embroiled in is steeped in sectarianism and social upheaval.

These faces have seen it all: the guns, the knives, the fights and the toughest prisons.

Kate Kray has teamed up with well-known Scottish hard man Hugh Collins to meet the most violent men in Scotland.

Usually, they would not open up and speak of their personal and professional lives to anyone, but here they reveal their innermost thoughts and darkest secrets.

The book delves into the a world that few have access to, an underworld of ruthless gangsters who operate within a strict code where there is no room for ostentation or pretence.
