Scottish Elections: SNP keep constituency seats in Highland and Moray
Last updated 7th May 2021
The SNP have kept their seats across the four Scottish Parliament constituencies in Highland and Moray.
Caithness, Sutherland and Ross was the first seat to be declared out of the four areas, with Maree Todd being elected.
She held off a strong challenge from Lib Dems candidate Molly Nolan, winning by just 2591 votes.
Elsewhere, Kate Forbes has been re-elected for Skye, Lochaber & Badenoch with 24,192 votes and Fergus Ewing has also been re-elected to the Inverness & Nairn constituency with 21,793 votes.
In Moray, Richard Lochhead kept his seat and delivered his winner's speech remotely as he was self-isolating due to a family member waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test.
The declaration for the regional Highlands and Islands list, which includes Scottish Conservative Leader Douglas Ross, will be made in Inverness tomorrow.
