Police Scotland released a statement on behalf of Mr Campbell’s fiancée, Julie, and wider family, saying: “Fraser was born in Glasgow, but lived most of his life on the north-east coast of England, before moving back to Scotland with his family in June of this year.

“Fraser was my fiance, my best friend and a wonderful daddy to our little girl. He was kind and had a bubbly personality.

“He radiated enthusiasm and positivity in everything he did, but especially for his two great passions – his family and climbing.”
