HOLLYWOOD stars Jack Lowden and Saoirse Ronan have sparked engagement rumours after a cryptic social media post.
Award-winning actor Lowden, 33, posted a series of pictures hiking near Pitlochry with one showing four hands, three wearing what seem to be engagement rings, alongside the couple's pet dog's paw on the trig point!

He captioned the post: "Ben Vrackie, summit 2759ft. So not classed as a Munro, but a Corbett. Steep, beautiful path, unparalleled views of Perthshire, and the heather starting to put her purple on. Or… her OUT out outfit.”
The rings featured caused fans to comment “Is that an engagement ring?” and others wishing congratulations to the couple.
The pair met on set of Mary Queen of Scots in 2018, Irish-born Ronan playing the titular role alongside Lowden as her on-screen husband Lord Darnley.
Oscar-nominated Ronan remains private on social media with little shared online.
Dunkirk star Lowden has been outspoken in his support for Scottish independence, and shared photos from The National’s 2019 Yes rally in George Square.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
