The quirky one-of-a-kind family home with a distinctive personal stye has been crowned the winner of 2024’s Scotland’s Home of the Year in the finale of the popular BBC Scotland series, filmed at Glasgow’s House For An Art Lover.
Home to Anna McClelland, partner Harry Kinloch, their children Lexie (11) and Marley (9) and Bob the cat, The 1960s Bungalow is a twice-extended family home in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire. The couple – both Glasgow School of Art graduates – use their home as an outlet for their creativity, with the property boasting clever decorating techniques and reclaimed materials including school gym hall flooring complete with colourful markers.

This one had it all - there were double front and rear dormers, a split-level kitchen and reconfigured internal layout, a large rear extension and landscaped garden – I was in architectural heaven."](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/06/10/20/53/479421.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=768)

Adds Danny: “It was consistent, it was creative and it was clever – very memorable.

Our home is distinctive and unique because it’s like the inside of our heads and that’s also what makes it homely to us…but maybe not for lots of other people! It’s been a really positive experience taking part in SHOTY. Apart from anything else, entering the show meant Harry had to finally finish doing DIY in the house!”](https://www.thestar.co.uk/jpim-static/image/2024/06/10/20/47/479423.jpg.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=768)
