BBC Scotland/iPlayer TRADITIONAL or modern? It is the question every estate agent asks, and it turned out to be the choice facing the judges in the final of Scotland’s Home of the Year last night. The winner was – spoiler alert – The Moss, a Georgian renovation in Killearn that is home to interior stylist Karen Welstead, husband Matt and their daughters Cora and Marnie and son, William. The runners up were the modernist The Garden House, St Andrews, and the Mid-Century Fun House in Dunblane. For the second year running, the west of Scotland produced the winner. Last year it was a traditional Glasgow West End flat with fin de siecle flourishes, this time it was a fabulously stylish but homely pile with a pink exterior.
