Turnout 54,871 81.91 +6.7

Sitting MP: John Nicholson (SNP)
Prediction: LibDem gain

This is the top LibDem target in Scotland and with a little tactical voting from Labour and the Tories she might well pull it off. John Nicholson has been one of the more high profile SNP MPs but a high national profile doesn’t always go down well locally. One to watch on election night, but I suspect Jo Swinson might win.
