Political career
For the first time McGrigor appeared in the 1997 general election to national elections. In his constituency of Western Isles , however, he received only the third highest number of votes and thus missed the entry into the British House of Commons . In the 1999 general election , McGrigor ran in the Western Isles constituency , but received only 7.9% of the vote. Since McGrigor was also on the regional electoral list of the Conservatives for the electoral region Highlands and Islands , he moved as one of seven regional candidates in the newly created Scottish Parliament as a result of the election result . In the parliamentary elections in 2003 , he applied for the direct mandate of the constituency of Ross, Skye and Inverness West , but could only unite the fourth highest number of votes. However, he kept his parliamentary seat for the Highlands and Islands. Again in 2005 McGrigor ran for the British House of Commons, but could not prevail in his constituency Argyll and Bute . Even the direct mandate of the Argyll and Bute constituency , in which McGrigor ran in the parliamentary elections in 2007 and 2011 , he could not win. In both cases, however, he defended his mandate for the electoral region. At the parliamentary elections in 2016 McGrigor has not raced for more and different to the end of the legislature out of the Scottish Parliament.
McGrigor is the Conservative Party's spokesperson on Environment, Climate Change, Europe and External Affairs. He lives in the Argyll region and has six children. In the shadow cabinet of the Conservatives he is designated as Minister for Sport and Communities.
