Nine distinct homes covering the length and breadth of Scotland have made it into the grand final of Scotland's Home Of The Year 2022. Chosen by judges Kate Spiers, Anna Campbell-Jones and Michael Angus, there is a home to root for which covers every style and taste.

Over the past nine weeks viewers have been fawning over the homes and interiors of these Scottish abodes. Whether you're a fan of modern, sustainable styles, quirky colours and bold prints, traditional features or savvy design innovations, which one would be your winner in next week's grand final?

Here are the nine finalists of BBC Scotland's Home Of The Year 2022.

Episode 1: The Highlands - Lorne Cottage, Fort William

Home to Ciara, Arran and their dog, Ghost, this small but distinctive property (this quaint cottage dates back to around 1800) uses bold colours and quirky space-saving solutions to make the most of the floorplan. We love that you immediately enter the warm and cosy snug as soon as you walk into this home.

Episode 2: Central - Ostro Passive House, Kippen

With an architectural designer and architect as owners, there's been a true focus on sustainability and the environment in Martin and Mhairi's home, with eco-friendly features such as windows that capitalise on solar heat energy. While the kitchen and living spaces have been pushed to the outer edges of the property, the three bedrooms, bathroom and office are housed in the home's cubic core.

Episode 3: Orkney & Shetland - The Pastel House, Kirkwall, Orkney

If you're a fan of vibrant hues and pastel colour palettes, you'll adore this Victorian townhouse renovation. Home to Jay and Rob, who relocated to Orkney from London four years ago along with their dogs Margo and Ely, and cat, Royal Tenenbaum, The Pastel House is spread over three levels and even has its very own hot tub polytunnel outside.

Episode 4: Borders & The South - Firestation House, Hawick

After being empty for over 15 years, this C-listed building dating back to the 1850s is now home to Sheena, John and their dog, Teddy. With a previous life as a fire station, as can be seen in the arch opening for the horse-drawn fire wagon and the hinge pins on the exterior wall, the building was also used as a church mission hall once upon a time.

Episode 5: Hebrides - New Tolsta, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis

Artist and owner Tom has returned this traditional, early 20th century croft house on the north-east coast of Lewis to its former glory, as well as adding his own distinctive style throughout. The painstaking restoration transformed the property, which was originally in a terrible state after being uninhabited for 37 years, into a truly unique home for his artwork and traditional pieces of furniture to coexist.

Episode 6: The Lothians - The Victorian Terrace, Edinburgh

Situated in the highly desirable area of Morningside in Edinburgh, this traditional townhouse has five bedrooms, two family bathrooms and a beautiful open plan kitchen, spread over three floors. In addition to its period features, the family home of Ella, Rory and their children Daisy and Arthur, also boasts a rich colour palette, plush interiors, bright and bold wallpaper and modern touches, such as in the newly refurbished kitchen.

Episode 7: Glasgow & The Clyde Valley - PENTLAND VIEW, Elsrickle

After being derelict for years, Navraj and Rachel took on a major restoration of the cottage and even added a contemporary extension to breathe new life into the property that dates back to the 1890s. A zero carbon home with sustainability at its heart, they have used solar panels, underfloor heating and insulation throughout. Decorated with a mixture of antiques and contemporary designs, they share their home with son VJ, Aljay the dog and cats George and Ina.

Episode 8: The West - RHU BOATHOUSE, Rhu, Helensburgh

Originally built as naval officer lodgings around 150 years ago, the Rhu Boathouse is now home to Patricia, Patrick and their dog Alva. On the first floor of the renovated terrace you'll find two bedrooms, a bathroom and a study. The living room and kitchen/diner make up the ground floor. Favouring antiques and upcycling, their home highlights the couple's sentimental value. The muted yet warm colour schemes work together to return the property to its original period style but with an up to date twist.

Episode 9: The East - THE OLD WATERWORKS, Fife

This unique conversion near Crail in Fife has been home to Euan, Sam, their children Sophie and Reuben, as well as Golden Retriever, Coco, for the last five years. With Euan doing much of the work himself, he's converted the former concrete water tank into a functional family home. Comprising three bedrooms, including a master with a walk-in wardrobe and standalone bathtub, two bathrooms and an L-shaped kitchen, dining and living space, there's also a sunroom to make the most of the Fife sunshine.

• Scotland's Home of the Year is available to watch on BBC One Scotland, the BBC Scotland channel and BBC iPlayer.
