Michael Elcock's fictionalised memoir, Eye of Rainfall and Ragged Dreams, is a wealthy coming-of-age work set in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 1960's.

Dunphy, the child of the diplomat, and Grimmett, who originates from a busted home, develop an improbable friendship at a high private college. Dunphy and Grimmett are create by absent and naive parents in a set above a brothel. Their ventures take them from poaching trout to gaming dens and a clean with the law. Two of their friends die through suicide, and since an indirect consequence of one of those deaths, Grimmett starts to learn about love.
