    When 1 Victoria Terrace in Inverness was on Scotland’s Home of the Year, back in 2021, the judges loved its anaglypta wallpaper and sweeping staircase. They were also impressed by the exterior of the C-listed building, which is thought to have been designed by Alexander Ross, who also created the city’s cathedral.

    The house-selling business is exhaustingI glanced in the mirror today and saw something akin to one of those deep sea angler fish. My flat has been on the market for three weeks, and I’m spent. Done. Exhausted. Unsettled. Puffy. Blobby. Pale. My eyes are bloodshot. My jowls are jowling. This is partially because, every morning, I have been waking at 5am or 6am. I can’t get a proper night’s sleep because there is too much going on in my life.
