Ross, Skye and Lochaber was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster). It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
The constituency covered a central portion of the Highland council area, and at 12,000 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi), it covered the largest area of any House of Commons constituency in Britain.[1] Until the 2015 general election, it was represented by former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy. After that, it was represented by Ian Blackford, the former leader of the Scottish National Party in the House of Commons from 2017 to 2022.
The seat was abolished for the 2024 general election, with its contents being distributed to neighbouring constituencies.[2]
