Insider Tip: With a glass of champagne on a private deck, a cruise on the Celtic Warrior is what proposal dreams are made of.

Royal Exchange Square
A neoclassical art gallery in the heart of Glasgow, stylish designer boutiques, and trendy bars – all make an excellent backdrop for your proposal. If your partner prefers sexy city scenery to romantic parkland, this is the ideal place for some post-proposal fizz to mark the occasion.

The crane is now a grade A listed building and a prominent feature of the Glasgow skyline that remains an important symbol of the city's industrial past.
