David Robertson (born 1965 in Dundee) is a Scottish former journalist and newsreader for Reporting Scotland from 2000 to 2008.
Briefly during this period he also had a news quiz show on BBC Radio Scotland.
On Friday 19 September 2008, he announced that he had been with the BBC for twenty years, presenting Reporting Scotland for eight, was honoured to have done so, and that this was his last appearance.
[2] Press reports claimed he sought a compensatory pay-off from BBC Scotland on the grounds that he was sacked by the corporation, rather than resigning.
In January 2008, David Robertson's apparently regular on-air pen trick during Reporting Scotland was spotted and highlighted in the media [4] and on YouTube[5] by Scottish comedian Limmy.
