A spectacular Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired home in Aviemore will be showcased this evening in the popular BBC series Scotland’s Home of the Year.
Saltire House on the village's old Dalfaber Road is one of the three properties vying for the Highlands' title and to progress to the final.
Ian Forrester and Myra Francis showed the Strathy – socially distanced of course – around the property earlier this month.
Now viewers across the nation will see inside the house which causes heads to turn on the train services running past the doors on the nearby Highland main line.
Mr Forrester said ahead of tonight's show: "We don’t know the result but are up against some pretty stiff competition."
The judges Anna Campbell-Jones, Michael Angus and Kate Spiers will be viewing the three homes in Aviemore, Inverness and the Beauly Firth in the Highland episode, the eighth in the current series.
They start with Saltire House which Ian and Myra share with their black Labrador dogs, Blue and Max.
The next home for the judges’ consideration is on the Beauly Firth.
The Mansion Apartment is part of historic Lentran House and dates back to 1866.
It was formerly the Inverness Lord Provost’s residence and an RAF building, before being split to create six separate dwellings.
After initially renting the basement apartment, the owners jumped at the chance to buy part of the property.
The third visit is to the Colonel’s House in Inverness, a stunning corner property which was built in 1897 to house the Colonel of the Cameron Barracks.
Bought as a B&B in 2011, the house has been completely renovated from a three-storey property back into one family home.
The Colonel’s House brims with an eclectic style which changes from room to room, floor to floor.
Architect Michael, interior designer Anna and lifestyle blogger Kate each give of the Highland houses their mark out of 10 – but only one will to go through to the grand final to be crowned Scotland’s Home of the Year 2021.
Fingers are crossed it will be Saltire House which flies the flags for the Highlands later this year.
Scotland’s Home of the Year airs this evening on BBC Scotland from 8pm to 8.30pm and will also be available on the BBC iPlayer
