Scotland's Home of the Year

The judges head east, as Anna Campbell-Jones, Michael Angus and Kate Spiers check out a farm steading conversion in rural Aberdeenshire; a silvery double upper in the city; and a home with the garden at its heart in St Andrews.

Visiting the three shortlisted properties from the east, the judges start off with a farm steading conversion in rural Aberdeenshire. Over Contlaw in Milltimber is home to Ashleigh, her husband Elliot and their two sons, Logan and Hunter. The family have been through blood, sweat and tears, including a fire at the property, before they could complete the renovation.

The next home to face the judges is a 1900s duplex-style, double-upper apartment in Aberdeen. Over the last three years owner Victoria has completely refurbished Bayview's interior. The result is an apartment boasting a silver palette which stretches over two floors and retains many of the property's original period features.

The final contender in the East is in St Andrews. The Garden House is home to Helen, husband Ben and son Zach. Building a home from scratch was new to Helen and Ben, so they worked alongside an architect to design a home to fit their family - with the garden at the heart of it.
