Badenoch and Strathspey as a local government district 1975 to 1996
Badenoch and Strathsprey

Badenoch and Strathspey is a former district of

Highland region in Scotland
.

The district was created under the

counties and burghs as local government areas, and the Badenoch and Strathspey district was formed by combining the areas of (in the county of Inverness) the burgh of Kingussie and the district of Badenoch with (in the county of Moray) the burgh of Grantown-on-Spey and the district of Cromdale.[1] The traditional area of Strathspey was thus divided between the Highland region and the Grampian
region.

In 1996, under the

first past the post
system of election. In 1999, however, ward boundaries were redrawn but management area boundaries were not. As a result, area committees were named for, and made decisions for, areas which they did not exactly represent. The new Badenoch and Strathspey committee area consisted of five out of the 80 new Highland Council wards.

New wards were created for elections in May 2007, under the

Inverness, Nairn and Badenoch and Strathspey corporate management area
. The new corporate area is one of three covering the council area. It consists of nine of the 22 wards of the council area, and the nine wards elect 34 of the council's members.
