Interestingly, Glasgow is becoming quite the spot for proposing as Google searches for the term ‘Glasgow proposal' have increased by a massive 110% in the past month!
Glasgow is mainly known to outsiders for its vibrant nightlife and music scene. But the city offers some impressive architecture, breathtaking views, lavish hotels, bars, and restaurants that will make the perfect backdrop for your proposal. Could the City of Music be the new City of Love?
To help with picking the best location for your special moment, ROX – Diamonds & Thrills has launched a guide with their top 7 romantic spots in Glasgow for a perfect proposal.
House For an Art Lover
A truly breathtaking location, House for an Art Lover is set within Glasgow's Bellahouston Park and is inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs. It combines a stunning venue and beautiful gardens with many other features, including an art gallery and exhibition space, café, artists' studios, and play park.
Insider Tip: Make this place sentimental for you and your partner - the venue is often used for weddings, so what is more symbolic than having your wedding at the spot you proposed at?
Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel
This award-winning, 5-star luxury spa hotel housed in a restored 19th-century building has so many fantastic features that will make your proposal magical. Its chic restaurant, stunning salon with garden views, private dining rooms, along with its excellent food, fizz, cocktails, and unsurpassed afternoon tea, make it the perfect place to pop the question.
Insider Tip: Why not surprise your partner with a romantic film experience in their private cinema right before getting down on one knee? The happy tears will be flowing!
Kelvingrove Art Gallery And Museum
If your partner is an art and history fan, it would be hard to imagine a better place to propose than the beautifully restored Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. You can propose in an original setting with 8,000 objects on display across 22 galleries ranging from natural history to internationally renowned art.
Insider Tip: Set the tone with a romantic stroll in Kelvingrove Park, or an open-air concert at the Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre, should the weather allow.
Ox And Finch
This popular Kelvingrove restaurant offers simple, seasonal, ingredient-led menus that combine bold flavors with global influences, friendly, attentive service, and a relaxed, sharing concept of contemporary dining.
Insider Tip: For that special occasion, make sure to let the restaurant team in on your plan. To ensure your proposal goes smoothly, call and speak with the manager in advance. Afterwards, take a stroll along the beautiful Kelvingrove park to soak in the beauty of the west end, and celebrate with your spouse-to-be!
Cameron House
Only a short 40-minute drive from Glasgow, Cameron House is a 5-star luxury spa hotel that offers a dreamy escape from everyday life; hidden, exclusive, yet easily accessible. Located on the banks of Loch Lomond, it makes for a very special proposal location.
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.
Insider Tip: Feeling flush? Treat your bride or groom-to-be to a designer engagement gift from one of the many luxury outlets around the square.
Finnieston Crane
Finnieston Crane is one of Glasgow's most iconic monuments. This giant built in 1931 and standing 50.24m high, was once the tallest crane in Europe. 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.
Insider Tip: Hit your cityscape sweet spot by exploring the many other nearby architectural gems on the banks of the River Clyde – including the Millennium Bridge, the 'Armadillo', The Clyde Arc, and the Riverside Museum.
If you need a little help picking out the perfect ring to propose with, ROX’s flagship boutique in Glasgow’s historic Argyll Arcade offers a truly decadent jewellery shopping experience in the heart of the city centre.
Kyron Keogh, Co-founder of ROX Diamonds & Thrills, comments: “Glasgow is full of romantic spots with stunning views that would make a lasting impression on your partner. Whether it's a place that is meaningful to you as a couple or you're looking for some new and exciting adventure, make sure to plan so the beginning of your happily ever after can go as smoothly as possible.”
