The shooting of Nairn banker Alistair Wilson is one of Scotland’s most notorious unsolved murders.

The killer shot the 30-year-old dad-of-two on his doorstep at around 7.15pm on November 28 2004. Mr Wilson died in hospital.

Other high-profile shootings include that of TV presenter and journalist Jill Dando, killed outside her home in Fulham on April 26 1999.

The Crimewatch presenter was killed by a single gunshot wound. Local man Barry George was convicted of murder but later acquitted after appeal.

Gangland boss Frank McPhie was killed by a shot fired by a sniper who hid in a block of flats opposite his own in Maryhill, Glasgow, on May 10 2000.

The hitman left the murder weapon but police have never caught the killer of McPhie, himself twice cleared of murder.

Ian Stewart Grant was a nightclub doorman working in Cambridge when he was shot dead on waste ground near a local hospital in November 1995.
