A converted apartment in Motherwell; a renovated villa in Glasgow’s south side and an eco-friendly cottage near Biggar are in competition as the judges choose a winner from this side of the country.

Judges Anna Campbell Jones, Kate Spiers and Michael Angus start their search at Pentland View in Elsrickle, a recently renovated cottage a few miles north of Biggar.

Dating back to the 1890s, for the last couple of years Pentland View has been home to Navraj and Rachel, their son VJ, Aljay the dog and cats George and Ina.

The cottage had previously been derelict for years and the couple performed a major restoration, including a contemporary extension.

Mixing antiques and contemporary designs throughout, Pentland View is also a zero carbon home with insulation, underfloor heating, solar panels with sustainability at its heart.

It is certainly an unusual looking home from inside out, and we are sure the judges will be having a field day with their opinions.

Next, is the Glencairn Apartment which sits within a Baronial building in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire.

Home to Mark and Shelley for just over two years, Glencairn was originally built in the 15th century before becoming the seat of the Hamiltons.

Over the years, it has also been a World War 1 hospital and a boarding school for boys.

Mixing gothic artefacts with modern design, the Glencairn Apartment also boasts a hidden room which the couple have transformed into a quirky little bar.

This home could be anything from a modern day vampire's lair to a murder mystery villa set in Scotland - perfect for the telly!

Finally, the judges visit Southside Renovation in Glasgow; home to Sam and Alan, their daughter Lois and newest addition to the family, baby Rory.

Since purchasing the property from a housing association, Sam and Alan have been busy breathing new life into their home by converting it back into a four-bedroom family home after years of housing multiple bedsits.

Alan did a lot of the work himself which, at times, was a mammoth task but it is now their pride and joy boasting, among other things, a cinema room. The home mixes together warm furnishings and a soft palette with bold and bright colour schemes in key rooms.

This one has a real modern feel about it, in the most Scottish family way possible!

Armed with only the basic facts about the three Glasgow and the Clyde Valley properties and their owners, the judges must choose only one to go forward to the grand finale at House for an Art Lover.

So, from these birds-eye views, which one has your vote? Let us know in the comments below!

You can tune into episode seven of Scotland's Home of the Year on Monday, May 16 on BBC One and BBC Scotland at 8:30pm.
