House of Bruar commented: “Taking the top spot with an impressive 1.1 million Instagram hashtags, the Isle of Skye, located in the Scottish Highlands, offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Known for its dramatic landscape, the island is home to iconic locations such as the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Pools, and the Quiraing, each providing a spectacular natural backdrop for a proposal.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Edinburgh Castle is the second-best place in Scotland to propose this festive season according to House of Bruar. The historic castle was found to have 784,000 Instagram hashtags.<\/p>\n
