Scotland's picture-postcard Capital has always been a popular place for wedding proposals.

At Taylor Swift's first night at Murrayfield Stadium for her Eras Tour in June, a couple got engaged during one of her songs and the US superstar even congratulated them herself as fans caught it on camera.

Swift said: I'm pretty sure I just saw someone who got engaged. Did it happen? Yeah?

“Congratul“ations. Wow. Man that's amazing. Thank you for doing that at my concert. That's a big moment. Huge.”

A month later, during an Edinburgh Castle gig by Madness in July, the ska-pop legends halted paused their classic song it Must Be Love to present an onstage marriage proposal.
