Scott Wallace said he would try to change his behaviour

Scott Wallace had to stay away from the property in Leven for three months after Fife Police obtained the first court order of its kind in Scotland.

The 19-year-old can return to the house on Wednesday and said he would try and keep his behaviour under control.

But 98-year-old neighbour Richard Martin said: "I'll never be satisfied until he is gone forever."

Fife Constabulary obtained a closure order in January which prevented Mr Wallace from returning home for three months.

Richard Martin said he wanted some peace and quiet

The force said that he had been "terrorising" his elderly neighbours - who also include a 94-year-old woman - in a block of four flats for months.

It was claimed that Mr Wallace regularly had about 20 people in his flat while playing music at high volume.

The teenager - who has been sleeping on friends' couches for the last three months - said that he only had "the odd party".

However, he admitted that he had to shoulder some of the blame and said the court order had made him more aware of his actions.

"I am going to try and keep myself under control and see what happens, try to come to an understanding with him," he said.

The windows of the property in Leven have been boarded up

"I will maybe even talk to him and try and sort it out because I don't want him lying in his bed scared every night."

But Mr Martin, who lives downstairs from the teenager, said he wanted to see the back of him for good.

"In what little time I have left on this earth I want a bit of peace and quiet, that's all," he said.

Fife Council said it could not evict Mr Wallace - but warned that it would be watching him closely.

"If Scott goes back to his old ways we will nip that in the bud extremely quickly," said head of housing Alan Davidson.
