Dunblane Massacre
Robertson's three children are former pupils of the school in Dunblane where in 1996 gunman Thomas Hamilton murdered 16 children and their teacher. After the massacre, Mr Robertson, a long-time resident of the town, acted as a spokesman for the victims' families. He was also a key figure in the subsequent campaign that led to the ban on handguns in Great Britain.
