The seat covered a broad south-eastern portion of the Highland council area. It had four locations in its name, the most nationwide.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the territory was subject to major boundary changes. Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey was combined with the majority of the Moray constituency (to be renamed Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey). To compensate, parts of the disappearing seat of Ross, Skye and Lochaber was added to the Inverness area, including Fort William and the Isle of Skye. As a consequence of these changes, a new constituency was created, named Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.[1]
