Northern Highlands

Architect and teacher Michael Angus, renowned Glasgow-based interior designer Anna Campbell Jones and globally recognised lifestyle blogger Kate Spiers scour the country for Scotland’s Home of the Year. This episode sees them travel to three homes in the Northern Highlands, where Kate is driven to question her love of clutter at an elegant villa in Dornoch. Complete with delightful ‘sitooterie’ and a striking extension, it’s easy to see it is home to an interior designer. Next up for consideration is a timber-frame home outside Thurso. With picture windows framing the view across to Orkney and a balcony facing west, it’s a stunning home, though the judges debate whether it’s actually in the right place. They finish their journey searching for gold at the fabulously named Rainbow’s End, in Skelbo. It's a glass-fronted home with more than one surprise.Each house is marked out of ten, with the judges looking for unique, well-designed and much-loved homes.
