Synopsis
Three judges travel around Scotland looking for the most amazing home in Scotland.
The panel judge three houses on functionality, distinctiveness, and clever design. They're also looking for that special ingredient to turn a stunning house into a perfect home. The winning candidate in each episode goes through to the final, where one of them is crowned Scotland's Home of the Year.
Touring the length of the country are Anna Campbell-Jones (celebrated interior designer), Michael Angus (architect and university lecturer), and Kate Spiers (lifestyle blogger). Interior Design Masters champion Banjo Beale is to cover for Kate Spiers in the 2023 series while Spiers is on maternity leave.
