A redrawing of the boundaries of the Highland constituencies proved no threat to incumbent SNP MSP Fergus Ewing in the Inverness and Nairn seat. This used to be a four-way marginal but Ewing now has a very comfortable majority of nearly 10,000. David Stewart was re-elected for Labour through the regional list, as was Mary Scanlon for the Conservatives.

Notes: Given boundary changes since 2007, variations in votes and share between seats with different boundaries would be misleading. We use the Denver figures, essentially a calculation of the 2007 votes cast within 2011 boundaries. More information on this here.
