Angus MacDonald becomes sensational sixth Scottish Liberal Democrat MP

Speaking after Angus MacDonald became the sixth Scottish Liberal Democrat MP, winning Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said:

"My heart is in the highlands today. The Liberal Democrats were all but wiped out in 2015, but that wasn’t the worst thing to happen to us that year. Weeks later we lost Charles Kennedy.

"That the final act of this general election should see his old seat returned to Lib Dem hands and the care of Angus MacDonald is simply wonderful.

"I'm overjoyed that Angus has become the sensational sixth Scottish Liberal Democrat MP.

"Angus has shown that the Liberal Democrats are the strongest voice for the Highlands. He will focus on what really matters, such as getting you NHS care close to home, improving dangerous roads and fighting for a fair deal for the Highlands.

“Millions of people have voted for change and put their trust in us, so our job now is to repay it in full and be their local champions.

"Join the Liberal Democrats today and you can be part of the change in both Scotland and the UK."
