Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross is now both MP and regional list MSP after results for the eight Highlands and Islands constituencies were confirmed.
The Highlands and Islands were the first in Scotland to declare their list results on Saturday.
Under the complex D’Hondt formula, Mr Ross is joined by fellow Scottish Conservatives Edward Mountain, Donald Cameron and Jamie Halcro Johnston, all incumbent MSPs.
