BBC Scotland's Home of the Year has been announced on Monday evening, as all nine finalists held their breath when the final decision was made.
New Tolsta on the Isle of Lewis pipped the other eight finalists to the post, as owner Tom couldn't believe the news as the judges congratulated the beautiful home.
Speaking on the win, Tom said: "Labours of love are in themselves worthwhile as can be seen with my embroidery.

"I certainly didn’t at any time imagine I would be entering a competition and even less to be winning anything.
"My labours, if you can call them that, gave me great satisfaction in getting ever closer to a point of comfort.
"If I still had the strength I’d love to do it all over again but maintenance work will always be required.
"For now though, I need to muster all my strength for the annual peat cutting season!”

New Tolsta is a traditional, early 20th century croft house on the north east coast of Lewis, New Tolsta in Stornoway is home to artist Tom.
Since buying it in 2006, he has painstakingly restored the croft house to create a truly unique home full of his artwork with traditional pieces of furniture.

Having been uninhabited for 37 years, New Tolsta was in a terrible state until Tom returned it to its former glory as well as adding his own distinctive style throughout.
Judge Anna Campbell Jones had this to say about Tom's deserved win: "We are always looking for individual homes filled with the expression of the homeowner’s personality and taste - and of course love.
"I don’t think we have ever seen such an exceptional example of a home meeting these criteria.
"The overwhelming sense of the person who lives there communicated via the cornucopia of his incredible creations, from the painted floors, to the embroidery to the artwork on the walls, all by his own hand - what a genius!”
Fans flocked to social media to send their congratulations to Tom, and of course, have their own opinions heard on the win.
