Judges said The Moss in Killearn had a 'dreamy pink exterior' and 'spectacular interiors'.

A Georgian renovation in rural Killearn has been named Scotland's Home of the Year in the finale of the popular BBC Scotland series.

The couple bought the house, which sits in 26 acres of land in rural Stirlingshire, in 2018 and have completely renovated it. "I think it's that balance of design and personality working in harmony that makes a home - even though the space was impressive, it still had that essence of family life, as well as a ton of character," she said."It managed to be spectacular at the same time as being a humorous, welcoming family home," she said.

Architect and lecturer Michael Angus praised the "decorative invention and individualism" in many of the homes shown in the series but said The Moss managed to balance that with respect for the history of the building.She said: "Living in the house while we undertook all the work was a challenge - we have three kids and busy lives so there was a bit of upheaval.
