Scotland’s Forgotten School Shooting: The Murder of Nanette Hanson | Ep. 227

Scotland’s Forgotten School Shooting: The Murder of Nanette Hanson | Ep. 227

In November 1967, a gunman walked into a classroom at St John’s RC High School in Dundee. What unfolded that afternoon left a young teacher fatally wounded, a school traumatised, and a case that would echo through the Scottish justice system for decades. It became one of the most shocking crimes in Dundee’s history, yet one that is often reduced to a single moment, stripped of its wider consequences and complexities.


At the heart of this case is Nanette Hanson, a 26-year-old newly married teacher remembered as gentle, dedicated, and fiercely protective of her pupils. But this story does not end with her death. It unfolds into a far broader and more troubling examination of violence, accountability, punishment, and how victims are remembered long after headlines fade.
