The 7 most romantic places to propose in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a fantastic place for the most romantic question!

If you are visiting Edinburgh and you don't know where the best place would be to pop the question, I have prepared a few location ideas for you to get you started. The best thing to do is to google every location and check if you like the look of it. Below are a few suggestions and also photographs of the different locations.

  • Calton Hill - East End of Princes Street - Amazing views over the city
  • Princes Street Gardens - lovely in any season, but many tourists during the summer months, so a quiet spot can be difficult to find.
  • Salisbury Crags - this is on the way up to Arthur's Seat. Amazing views over Edinburgh, but requires a little bit of a hike. If she's wearing heels, this might be a no-go.
  • Circus Lane - the cutest lane in Edinburgh. Very close to Stockbridge. Usually very quiet.
  • Dean Village - usually quiet, and very serene location at the river in the centre of Edinburgh.
  • Botanic Gardens - requires photography permission (approx. £60). (please contact the Botanics well before the event and get a permit for the photography during the event and after. Without a permit, we could be asked to leave!
  • The Vennel at Grassmarket - amazing views towards Edinburgh Castle

Secret Proposal Edinburgh - The Vennel, Grassmarket

The Vennel near Grassmarket in Edinburgh is a lovely location overlooking the old Vennel and Edinburgh Castle. People can walk by as they use the steps to go from Grassmarket to the other part of town. But it's usually a quiet location. After the occasion, we can venture over to Victoria Street and take more photos around this famous street of Edinburgh.
