In Central Scotland, the Scotland’s Home of the Year judges must choose between a converted old mill near Dunblane, a Victorian semi in Bridge of Allan and a farmhouse conversion between Falkirk and Linlithgow.

Judges Anna Campbell-Jones, Banjo Beale and Danny Campbell must decide whether The Old Mill, Sandstone Villa or Courtyard Farmhouse will represent Central Scotland at the grand final held at Glasgow’s House For An Art Lover.

The episode will air on BBC One Scotland on Monday from 7pm.
