Synopsis
Three judges travel around Scotland looking for the most amazing home in Scotland.
Kate, Anna and Michael make themselves at homeThe panel judge three houses on functionality, distinctiveness, and clever design. They're also looking for that special ingredient to turn a stunning house into a perfect home. Each judge scores out of 10, with one judge's score on each house held back for the reveal at the end (though you can generally tell where it's heading anyway). If necessary, ties are broken by further discussion among the panel. The winning candidate in each episode goes through to the final, where one of them is crowned Scotland's Home of the Year.
The hi-tech scoreboardTouring the length of the country are Anna Campbell-Jones (celebrated interior designer), Michael Angus (architect and university lecturer), and Kate Spiers (lifestyle blogger). Interior Design Masters champion Banjo Beale was originally added to the line-up as a temporary measure to cover for Spiers while she was on maternity leave, but was made permanent when both Spiers and Angus chose not to return for 2024. Shortly before the 2023 series aired, its Welsh counterpart gained a primetime showing on network BBC Two, paired with Beale's makeover doc Designing the Hebrides, maybe providing the impetus for controllers in Glasgow to at last promote SHOTY to a first-run slot on BBC One Scotland (while of course also retaining the customary squillions of repeats on the BBC Scotland channel).
