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.

This Broughty Ferry residence, The Tree House, was designed in the Sixties, and will be going up against a farm steading conversion near Doune and a detached Victorian home in Auchterarder on the Central and Tayside episode of Scotland’s Home of the Year.

There were changes afoot when I stayed the weekendThis is the perfect time to visit the five-star 208 bedroom Cameron House. When I went, last month, not so much. First of all, the spa was shut for refurbishment. It’s due to open at the beginning of June, with a new swimming pool and other bells and whistles. Even without a glow-up, I adore that attraction, especially the rooftop infinity hydropool. Sadly, no visit this time.

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.
