(it was only delclared around 7 a.m.)

Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber:

SNP: 15582 (34.7%, -9.4)
Conservative: 9350 (20.8%, -13.7)
Labour: 8585 (19.1%, +12.1)
Lib Dem: 7359 (16.4%, +2.3)
Reform UK: 3045 (6.8%, +6.7)
Independent: 941 (2.1%)

Although Brendan's percentage reduced, he actually increased his majority - seemingly because the vote was split more evenly among his rivals. Attempts at tactical anti-SNP voting would have been hampered by wildly contradictory polling in the run-up to the election (some had put this as a Tory gain, which might help explain their relatively strong showing, some with Reform gaining a mind-boggling vote share, which thankfully didn't pan out). Even if you added the Tory and Reform totals together, they still wouldn't beat him.
