That's the point of being a Unionist yes, they helped the Conservatives but as you explained it was the SNP who turned against Labour. The other parties had been voting against Labour as part of the opposition. The SNP changed their support and the rest is history.

You may not like to recall your Tartan Tory roots but it seems obvious that they were getting Tory protest votes against the long years of Labour rule in Scotland under Gordon Wilson. It was a shrewd move by the SNP and undermined the Tory Party in Scotland.

My main argument is that turning against one party isn't necessarily supporting the other. Yes, they helped bring down Labour but having been treated the way they had been by Labour It's no surprise they did what they did.

It is the way that the SNP operate though. They pillory Labour and the Lib Democrats at every opportunity for being on the same side of any argument as the Conservatives. Labour and the others oppose Conservative policies all the time but the SNP would have you believe they represent the same political ideas. It is quite depressing how everything comes down to independence.
