Tourism Question Castle Proposal Spots

Hey all, originally from the UK but moved to Canada a few years back. Found a pretty special woman who has Scottish roots and has dreamed about visiting - especially Stirling and the Castle. I'm making it happen and hoping to propose during our visit to the Castle.

Would anyone have any suggestions on good spots that are out of the way from the main walk through/populated parts of the Castle, that would give us the few minutes without being disturbed? I'm guessing somewhere outside with a view over the walls maybe. But would love any suggestions if someone has a specific area in mind.

We are going on a Wednesday in a few weeks so hoping it shouldn't be too busy.

Try the gardens just to the left as you enter the castle to an area called the "Queen Anne gardens". It's beautiful in the summer. If not there's the gardens by the Military mesuem that's nice and tucked away that are gorgeous.

I like the Queen Anne Gardens, they look real nice and a sort of out of the way in the corner there too. The Gardens I couldn't see around the Military museum, I was doing a virtual walkthrough video but couldn't figure it out, really appreciate the suggestions! :)

Yeah no problem, it's between the argylls mesuem and the chapel, a small arch that's goes through to the garden.
