Investigations by the Daily Record have unmasked several facist groups operating in Scotland.
04:30, 02 Jul 2026
Nazi groups operating throughout Scotland have been uncovered following several Daily Record investigations.
This week we unmasked louts behind the shady Scots Active group, who operate a sinister WhatsApp group under the banner 'Get These C**** Out!'. The group clashed with cops, targeted ethnic minorities, and made Nazi salutes during a shameful anti-immigration protest in Glasgow on June 13.
Elsewhere, sinister factions promoting white supremacist principles, plotting “revolution”, standing for election and holding hate-filled demonstrations have been exposed by the Daily Record.
Scots Active groupThese masked Nazi louts came to public attention during an anti-immigration protest in Glasgow. The shady Scots Active group, which launched last year, denies being racist and claims it “patrols” Glasgow streets to rescue women and children from criminals.
They were outed by the Record as a chilling new right-wing mob this week. Members operate within a WhatsApp group under the banner 'Get These C**** Out!'.
The group recruited new members on social media, quickly amassing 1000 followers, after attending a similar protest a few days earlier sparked by the vigilante reaction to the death of Henry Nowak in Southampton - who was murdered by a Sikh killer with a fascination for knives.
One of the two admins for the Whatsapp group, is its founder Darren Docherty. Despite Docherty’s claims his group is neither far right nor racist - it was previously banned from TikTok for recruiting new members there and violating the platform’s guidelines.
Docherty, a joiner, is believed to have been inspired by the fascist “active clubs” of the USA and Eastern Europe when he set up the group in 2025. The clubs, first highlighted in the Daily Record in 2023, encourage young men and women to get fit so that they can “protect their nation's” white heritage against invasion.
Yet Docherty professes to reject racism and states that his group stands only against illegal immigrants. Videos previously shared on the Scots Active TikTok account show the group’s street patrol work, including one where hooded members harass a black man.
The Active Club ScotlandA far-right fight club hellbent on creating racial unrest signed up hundreds of Scots in 2023. The Active Club Scotland is a copycat of similar ventures in the US and Europe, which have been condemned for promoting white supremacist principles, backed up by macho physical training drills.
The Scottish club held several meet-ups at gyms in central Scotland and field trips to glens in the Highlands, where groups of young white men discussed the legacy of Robert the Bruce and mythical events in history. The group adopts the Active Club mantra of a white “warrior spirit”.
Members of the group posed in balaclavas on the Telegram social media platform, urging others to join. Followers claim they are “nationalists”, practise mixed martial arts and boxing, and pose topless for triumphant photos.
The group released a video, shot at a beauty spot, bearing a banner that demands “Free Rundo”. Robert Rundo is an American white supremacist whose Rise Above Movement drove the first active clubs in the States in 2017.
Rundo was extradited to the US after being arrested in Romania on anti-riot act charges related to violent clashes with anti-fascist protesters in Los Angeles. He moved moved away from overtly violent and Nazi-emblazoned movements, with commentators suggesting he was giving a “friendly face” to white supremacy.
Caledonia ClubYoung Scottish racists from Caledonia Club joined neo-Nazis in Germany last year at a boot camp to plot “revolution”. The group sent a contingent to form bonds with far right extremists from other European nations.
The event - organised by neo-Nazi party The Third Way (Der Dritte Weg)- marched through the countryside in the rural Thuringia region, commando-style, with other bigots from the Netherlands, Germany and England.
More than 100 activists took part in hand-to-hand combat training and lectures in “national revolutionary”, anti-immigration theory. Recruits at the “Der Dritte Weg Youth Weekend” were addressed by the party chairman Matthias Fischer, a veteran of the German far-right scene, who is affiliated with several extreme groups.
At the German boot camp, Scottish extremists were awoken at 5.30am for a group breakfast.
During a 25km march they stopped at a village war memorial, where the legend of a local war hero were crudely mangled to fit their right wing mantra.
After taking part in archery and wrestling lessons they were taught on how to make graffiti - to help spread their extreme views on Scotland's streets.
Similar "active clubs" have continued to pop up in towns and cities up and down the country.
Many promote “traditional” values and preach about history - but mix in a toxic “white only” creed that seeks to block other cultures.
Patriotic Alternative ScotlandA then-new far fight political party staged its first annual conference at a Scottish family hotel as bemused holiday-makers looked on in disgust in October 2022.
Patriotic Alternative Scotland held the event at the Stirling Highland Hotel after booking the venue without revealing their true identity.
The racist group also held a demonstration at Stirling Castle, with a banner stating: “White lives built Britain.” The presence of the fascist group in Scotland has been condemned for stirring hate.
Stirling MP Alyn Smith said the appearance of the far-right group in Stirling was an abuse of the city’s spirit of welcoming outsiders. He said: “These bams abused our hospitality with their ultra hate-fest and their daft wee stunt.”
Patriotic Alternative is regarded as the UK’s most active fascist group, binding a ragbag of Nazi extremists, bigots from anti-immigration Scottish Defence League and a new cohort of anti-vaxxers. The group includes members associated with proscribed Nazi terrorist group National Action, a former member of which plotted to kill a Labour MP.
It was founded in 2019 by former BNP press officer Mark Collett, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who is inspired by Hitler’s book Mein Kampf.
HomelandA furious backlash erupted in February 2024 after a Scots-based far-right group was given official approval to stand for parliament by election bosses. The storm blew up over the granting of official political party status to the extremist Homeland group, which lists its official HQ in Kirknewton in West Lothian.
The Homeland Party was formed as a splinter organisation from the extremist Patriotic Alternative (PA) group - which has been denied political party status seven times. Despite the obvious close links to PA - several of whose members have been jailed for hate crimes - the Homeland Party was authorised as an official party by the Electoral Commission.
Anti-fascist campaigners were outraged at the decision on Homeland, led by former PA senior official and BNP election candidate Kenny Smith, from Skye. The party’s nomination officer in the party application was Anthony Burrows - a bigot from the Midlands who has promoted Adolf Hitler and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke online.
