Campbell's father, Rev George Campbell (1827-1904), was the parish minister of Eastwood, Glasgow,[2] and his grandfather, Rev James Campbell (1789-1861), had been the established church minister of Traquair, Peeblesshire.[3]
Education
After leaving the local parish school, Campbell attended the Church of Scotland Normal School in the Cowcaddens, Glasgow, before proceeding to Arts and Divinity courses at the city's university. There followed practical training as a so-called student missionary at Lochinver in Assynt parish, Sutherland, then an assistant post at St Clement's, Dundee.[4]
