from period properties to modern new-builds, cosy cottages to bespoke flats, farm steadings to contemporary abodes. This year’s finalists are: * SANDSTONE BUNGALOW, GIFFNOCK ( _Ep1, West_ ).

Home to Pamela and Gordon, their son Caleb and Rosa the Irish Setter, the ‘Sandstone Bungalow’ blends together old with new, whilst retaining the beautiful original 1930s details. The

couple design choices bring the ‘Sandstone Bungalow’ up-to-date with a bright and modern kitchen, dining and living spaces. * HILLTOP HOUSE, ABERDEENSHIRE ( _Ep2, North East & Northern

Isles_ ). Situated on the outskirts of Pitmedden in rural Aberdeenshire, ‘Hilltop House’ is home to Chris, Jessica, their son Chase and dogs Enzo and Dino. The couple designed their bright,

contemporary house around the original footprint of the farm steading, fusing mid-century and Californian cool style to create their dream home. * WEE CITY NOOK, EDINBURGH ( _Ep3, East_ ). A

first-floor traditional tenement in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area, ‘Wee City Nook’ is home to Devin and Max. The couple combined their creative skills to design and rebuild each room in this

small-but-perfectly-formed home, creating clever storage solutions, maximising every nook and cranny. Together, they have created a bold, bright and colourful abode which truly packs a

design punch. * THE TREE HOUSE, BROUGHTY FERRY ( _Ep4, Central & Tayside_ ). A modernist 1960s property in Broughty Ferry, ‘The Tree House’ is home to Jackie, Paul and their cats Mirren

and Kaja. The couple fell in love with this neglected house which had laid empty for five years, lovingly breathing new life into it whilst preserving the original architect’s vision.

Amongst their changes, they reworked the upstairs space to create their bedroom of dreams overlooking the treetops. * AN CALA COTTAGE, ISLE OF SKYE ( _Ep5, Highlands & Islands_ ). A cosy

cottage, ‘An Cala Cottage’ is home to Caroline, Lee and their dog, Nuala. This traditional cottage was brought back to life on a budget, with the couple incorporating charming charity shop

finds with a creative use of colour throughout. They took inspiration for their interior design from the coastal and mountain views which surround, creating a cosy and relaxing home. *

CRAIGMOUNT, NEAR DALBEATTIE ( _Ep6, South)._ A Victorian semi-detached house near Dalbeattie, home to Ozzy, Laura, daughter Grace and Ethel the pug. The property’s coastal views won the

family over and they made it their own by renovating and adding a tasteful extension to the original granite building. Boasting a bold and colourful interior, the family entered Craigmount

as Grace’s late gran loved SHOTY. Judge and interior designer Anna Campbell-Jones said: “As always, we have a set of finalists that are each uniquely different from each other, from restored

modernist dreams to handcrafted miniature perfection there's inspiration for everyone. “When we film the final we are never sure who the winner will be - it could genuinely be any of

these amazing homes. Through debate, much discussion and not a little heartbreak, we gradually whittle them down to one that we all agree has that magical edge - the home that best

exemplifies what home means.” Isle of Mull-based judge and interior designer Banjo Beale said: “Each home’s bursting with personality - bold, beautiful, and a real labour of love. The finale

of SHOTY is the big emotional payoff - surprises, stories, and a stunning winner that’ll take your breath away.” Architect Danny Campbell added: “This year’s finalists are an eclectic

celebration of design adventures — bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically individual. Each home tells a story of its owner's passions, priorities and aesthetic DNA, from slick

architectural statements to soulful reimagining of traditional spaces. The finale is always a head-spin - equal parts tension and celebration. Viewers can expect impassioned debates,

inspiring interior insights and that brilliant moment where we finally agree on a winner!” Article continues below Faced with six unforgettable and unique homes, Anna, Banjo and Danny cast
