Reform remove Scottish official after claim about family

Campbell is also reported to be the son of William Campbell, and nephew of Colin Campbell.

The pair were jailed for their roles in the bombing of the Clelland Bar and Old Barns pub in Glasgow in 1979.

William Campbell, known as “Big Bill”, has been named as the UVF’s commander in Scotland during the Troubles.

A 2011 book alleged that he was also involved in the 1971 bombing of a Belfast pub that killed 15 people.

Ciaran MacAirt, author of The McGurk’s Bar Bombing, claimed the Scottish UVF chief smuggled the explosives used in the attack into Northern Ireland.

He died in 1997, and is commemorated by a Loyalist plaque in Belfast describing him as a “true soldier”.
