Charles Kennedy

Kennedy was elected for Ross, Cromarty and Skye in 1983 at 23 and represented the vast Highland seat, later Ross, Skye and Lochaber, for 32 years, covering a constituency larger than some countries by car and ferry. Locally he was known for his presence at ceilidhs and community halls and for causes such as the Skye Bridge tolls, which were abolished in 2004 after a long campaign. He lost in the SNP landslide of 2015 and died weeks later.
