Ming Campbell dies, aged 84

The European Movement in Scotland (EMiS) mourns the passing of Ming Campbell (Lord Campbell of Pittenweem). Ming Campbell had served as President of EMiS and was a lifelong advocate for the UK being at the heart of the EU. His support for the European cause was deeply genuine, passionately argued and compelling. Our sympathies go to his family and his many friends across the political divide and in many walks of life. All Scotland will be saddened by his passing. 

The European Movement in Scotland is committed to promoting the essential European value of free speech. Consequently, we regularly publish articles by leading academics, journalists and others discussing issues germane to Scotland’s place in Europe. Such articles do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Movement in Scotland.
