Two stunning properties in Lewis are in the spotlight with the popular Scotland's Home of the Year show visiting Lewis for tonight’s show.
Judges Anna, Banjo and Danny, head to Point to see Tina McGeoch, 61, (pictured) at her renovated croft house in Flesherin.
Tina’s husband, Norman, sadly died aged 70 in the middle of the reconstruction works in November 2021. His family hailed from Lewis and, after years of moving around, the couple planned to spend their twilight years here.
Newlands Croft House had been lying empty before being lovingly restored and extended it to make the most of the breathtaking views out to sea.
The couple’s vision is environmentally considerate and the interiors are filled with second hand finds and upcycled furniture.
Also featured on tonight’s (Monday) programme is a modern self-build near Stornoway.
Achnagairn House is home to David and Alison, their daughters Ava Grace and Eva Rose and Mulberry the chihuahua.
The couple designed their dream home with their daughters and family life in mind, creating a symmetrical abode with sustainability at its heart.
Boasting a copper Belfast sink and an angelic white bedroom, Achnagairn House is
a characterful new-build home all on one level.
The third contender on the show is located on the mainland.
Dating back to the 18th century, Earth House near Aviemore is home to Salem and Dianne. When the couple bought the property in 2016 it was in a neglected state and, over five years, they brought it back to life.
This Highland sanctuary reflects the serenity of its surroundings as well as providing a haven for visiting family. Amongst its many features, Earth House includes a shower turret and a bathroom with a view.
Scoring the three homes on architectural merit, distinctive design and personal style, the judges must decide which property will represent the Highlands and Islands in the grand final at Glasgow’s House for an Art Lover.
Scotland’s Home of the Year is transmitted on BBC One Scotland tonight (Monday) at from 8.30pm
