Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart 

Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic--they should be sworn enemies if they're to be seen as men at all. Their environment is a hyper-masculine and sectarian one, for gangs of young men and the violence they dole out dominates the Glaswegian estate where they live. Mungo and James become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. As they fall in love, they dream of finding somewhere they belong, but the threat of discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable.
