Connor Robertson, 31, and his partner, Laura Dowds, 34, recently got engaged during an ascent of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge.
Connor Robertson, 31, dropped on one knee to propose to Laura Dowds, 34, the special question. The couple, from Armadale in West Lothian, enjoyed their proposal after signing up for Barnardo's charity’s ‘Your View’ event, which allows members of the public to ascend 361 feet up the historic bridge.
She said: “The proposal was a complete surprise! Connor didn’t even tell me that we were doing the bridge viewing until we arrived in the car park, so the whole day was a pleasant surprise from start to finish. I was stunned to say the least. I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing him down on one knee! The amazing photographer managed to capture lots of snaps of our special moment, too, and we are so grateful to have these fantastic memories.
Along with the proposal, Laura said that the couple thoroughly enjoyed their Your View experience: “Your View was one of the best things we’ve done together – getting to be up on top of the bridge and taking in some of the most amazing sights. I’d recommend it to anyone. The volunteers were amazing, too, from getting history about the bridge being built, to the friendly and helpful staff joining you as you make your way up in the hoist.
