The judges, architect Michael Angus, interior designer Anna Campbell-Jones and lifestyle blogger Kate Spiers, travelled the length and breadth of the country, scoring each one on its functionality, distinctiveness and clever design.

If it were up to you, which of these extraordinary finalists would get your vote?

Spoiler alert: The winning home is revealed at the bottom of this feature.

The colourful bungalow (East of Scotland)

Inside the home

The transformation of a simple 1970s bungalow in Dalgety Bay took the judges’ breath away.

The cylindrical home (South of Scotland)

Inside the home

A striking ‘upside down’ home on the Solway coast near Kirkcudbright, with views that stunned the judges.

The flat with hidden features (West of Scotland)

Inside the home

Overlooking Glasgow Green, a first floor flat with sliding walls, hidden rooms and a generous bath.

The house with a dual personality (NE Scotland finalist)

Inside the home

A home of two halves in the coastal town of Stonehaven, with one side Edwardian, the other modern — and a little taxidermy thrown in for good measure.

The single storey with a view (Islands)

Inside the home

This home’s rough, breeze block interior may not be the most obvious route to creating a comfortable home, but it proved a revelation to our judges.

The family castle (North of Scotland)

Inside the home

A painstakingly restored 16th Century medieval castle complete with secret passages, near Tain in Ross-shire.

The ‘humpty house’ (Central Scotland)

Inside the home

A light family home near Kirriemuir with creative design features.

And the winner is...

The White House in Kirkcudbright

Judge Anna Campbell-Jones said: “Everything in the house had been given thoughtful consideration, from the big architectural vision to the tactile details. The whole home exuded personality, the furniture and artworks clearly demonstrated many years of collecting with love and discernment and the way that incredible view is revealed as you enter the house is breathtaking.”

Kate Spiers added: “I think we all fell in love with the winning house. It was magical.”
