Scotland's Home Of The Year[1], is a British reality competition television series on BBC Scotland. Three property experts scour the country on the hunt for Scotland’s Home of the Year. Each week three homes from a different region of Scotland are visited by the three judges, Anna Campbell-Jones, Kate Speirs and Michael Angus. Each home is given a score out of ten by each judge, at the end of each show the scores are all added together and the home with the highest score is put through to the final.
At the end of the series the finalists are judged against each other and narrowed down to three finalists. A winner is then selected and presented with a trophy.
The series is notable in that the judges are all very respectful to the contestants homes and do not try to deliberately find faults as is so often the case in other reality shows.
Michael Angus is an Architect and Lecturer.[2] Anna Campbell-Jones is an Interior Designer.[3] Kate Speirs is an Influencer.[4]
The series was commissioned for BBC Scotland but has also been shown on BBC One.
Series Two was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA.[5]
