VIDEO: Perthshire couple get engaged on special tour of Queensferry Crossing

A COUPLE will have some very special memories every time they travel across the Queensferry Crossing.

Mark McDonald and Carrie Taylor, from Perthshire, got engaged on a tour of the new bridge across the Forth over the weekend.

The pair were on an ‘educational tour’ of the structure, due to open this summer, as part of a 30th birthday treat for Miss Taylor.

Once they were given safety gear and made their way onto the bridge, Mr McDonald made it a real birthday surprise by popping the question in the unique surroundings.

Miss Taylor told The Courier: “Mark got down on one knee and asked to marry me. It wasn’t the outfit I would have chosen. I said ‘can I take my gloves off?’

“I had no idea it was coming. Mark sort of double-bluffed me. He said it was too cliche to do it on my birthday.

“At the time I was just in complete shock. It was a really special moment. Certainly nobody else can say they got proposed to on the Queensferry Crossing.

“We drive to Edinburgh all the time. Now everyday we drive over we are able to think ‘we got engaged here’. It was beautiful.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
