The Conservatives have achieved a landmark win in the constituency of Aberdeen South, in what was described as a referendum on North Sea oil.
Scottish Tory MSP Douglas Lumsden seized the seat from the SNP by more than 6,000 votes, with 14,308 on the night.
"The people of Aberdeen have given a resounding answer: That we back the oil and gas industry," Mr Lumsden said after the count was read out.
The historic win marks only the fifth time this century the Tories have gained a seat at a Westminster by-election.
The last time was Hartlepool in May 2021, when Jill Mortimer took the seat from Labour with a swing of almost 16%, a result which piled pressure on Sir Keir Starmer, who was then leader of the opposition.
