Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber was a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood).
Boundaries were redrawn before the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, dividing the area between Inverness and Nairn and Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch.
The other seven constituencies of the Highlands and Islands electoral region were: Argyll and Bute, Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, Moray, Orkney, Ross, Skye and Inverness West, Shetland and the Western Isles.
Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber was the most southerly of three Holyrood constituencies covering the Highland council area.
Constituency and management area names have many elements in common, and the management areas had the boundaries of former districts of the Highland region, as abolished in 1996, namely Inverness, Nairn, Lochaber, Ross and Cromarty, Skye and Lochalsh, Badenoch and Strathspey, Caithness and Sutherland.
