Donald Cameron, 38, stood against Charles Kennedy in Ross, Skye and Lochaber in 2010’s General Election.
He also stood for the party in Orkney and Shetland in the 2015 General Election. He was chosen to stand at a meeting of local party members and activists who live within the constituency and has the backing of Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson.
Mr Cameron said: “My aim is to build a strong Scotland within a prosperous and secure United Kingdom. A lot of local people voted No last September and I’m there to support and stand up for them. There are specific challenges in the local area including creaking infrastructure, poor roads, high fuel and travel cots and limited broadband and mobile coverage, but it’s my aim to tackle these issues and stand up for ordinary hard-working people.
“As the local Scottish Conservative candidate, I will give my all to winning the great constituency of Argyll and Bute back from the nationalists.” The incumbent MSP is the SNP’s Michael Russell.
