The ability to predict the outcome has been complicated in the wake of revised boundaries.
Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross has been extended. In addition, two new constituencies have been formed after the Boundary Commission for Scotland proposals were accepted.
They leave the north with the largest UK parliamentary constituencies in the country and the number of MPs has been reduced by one.
Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross is the biggest territory, followed by Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire.
In total that means four MPs will have to represent a population of 300,020 living across 35,537 km sq.
