Derek Longmuir

Derek Longmuir (b. March 19, 1951 at Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion Hospital, Edinburgh, Scotland) was the drummer and a founding member of the 1970s pop group the Bay City Rollers. His elder brother Alan Longmuir played bass guitar in the group.

Derek appeared on each of the band's nine studio albums through 1981. He retired from the music business in the early 1980s. He went on to train as a nurse and worked at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

In 2000, Longmuir was sentenced to 300 hours community service after admitting possessing child pornography. Due to the controversy, he was fired from his job at the infirmary. Despite his guilty plea, he maintained that the offending materials did not belong to him, but were left behind by an acquaintance. Longmuir claimed he pleaded guilty in hope of avoiding a "media circus". .
