2016’s West End festival in Glasgow included the Ideal Hut Show in the Botanic Gardens. Contemporary artists, leading architects and designers from Scotland and overseas transformed eighteen standard garden sheds. The show included a Tartan Hut and Doctor Who’s Tardis.

Amongst the 32 short-listed finalists in the annual Shed of the Year competition were the Wild West-themed Tranquillity Saloon in Aberdeenshire, where a local re-enactment group gather to socialise,  and a renovated wheelhouse from one of the last boats to be commercially built in the county of Caithness.  Dun 25 Bunker, a restored three man nuclear bunker owned by Jim Sherrit from Brechin, was the third Scottish contender. A love shack and a converted campervan also made the shortlist.

A chicken coop transformed into a working gin distillery on the Inshriach estate in the Cairngorms National Park won the coveted title in 2015. Its site was chosen because of the abundance of juniper berries nearby.  http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13420402
