Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. Further to the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies it was first contested at the 2024 general election, when it was the final constituency to announce its result due to multiple recounts related to technical issues in its vote-counting.
The seat was won by Angus MacDonald of the Liberal Democrats; he defeated the SNP's Drew Hendry who had been MP for the predecessor seat of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey from 2015 to 2024.
