Three houses in the Highlands and islands are in the running to be named Scotland’s Home of the Year 2022 in tonight’s finale of the popular BBC series.
The 10-part series has seen architect Michael Angus, interior designer Anna Campbell Jones and lifestyle blogger Kate Spiers visit 27 homes across the length and breadth of Scotland.
Lorne Cottage in Fort William will face competition from New Tolsta in Stornoway and the Kirkwall’s Pastel House, along with six others from across the country for the title.
Lorne Cottage, Fort William
Dating from around 1800, Lorne Cottage is home to Arran, Ciara and their dog, Ghost. The property boasts bold colours and a unique design, with entry to the home coming via the snug.
New Tolsta, Stornoway
The early 20th Century croft house New Tolsta in Stornoway is home to artist Tom. He purchased the property in 2006.
He has restored the croft house to create a home full of his artwork and traditional pieces of furniture.
Pastel House, Kirkwall
This Victorian townhouse is home to Jay and Rob, along with their dogs Ely and Margo, and cat Royal Tenenbaum. The home has vibrant shades including gold-leafed stairs and distinctive pastel palettes in each room.
Each property showcased a vast range of home styles ranging from cosy little homes to grand conversions, stunning self-builds to breathtaking renovations, quirky conversions and environmentally-friendly houses.

- Ostro Passive House, Kippen
- Firestation House, Hawick
