Commenting on the Liberal Democrat victory in the Inverness West Council by-election, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott said:
Alasdair Christie and the Highland Lib Dem team"This is a fantastic victory for Alasdair Christie and the Liberal Democrats. It works out as a 22 per cent swing from the SNP to the Lib Dems.
"This sends a very strong message to the SNP Government that ignoring the needs of Inverness and ripping up manifesto commitments don't wash. We expect the Government to listen to the verdict of the people and get on with supporting improvements in the Highland area.
"Alasdair Christie will be an outstanding councillor for the area and I congratulate him on a great victory."
