Sir Walter Scott and King George IV 's Visit Scotland, 1822

Показать описание
King George IV's visit to Scotland, from the 15th to the 29th of August, 1822, was something no British monarch had done in 140 years. Why did King George IV Visit Scotland in 1822? How did it happen?

We give an overview of how this amazing event came about and a small glimpse of the grandeur of the occasion. And we discuss the man behind the event - Sir Walter Scott, author of Rob Roy and often called "the man who invented Scotland."

Points of correction/clarification:
1. The name Royal Stewart may have been used several years before George IV’s 1822 visit, though it does not appear in most texts until after 1830.
2. The ‘Highland Revival’ is considered by many scholars to have begun in the 1780s. The revival suit has roots that predate the 1822 visit. Rather, its popularity was severely enhanced by the royal visit.

I really admire your ability to tell a compelling story of history, without judgement. And you’ve explained how the historic view translated into today’s situation.

I really appreciated the painting by Gainsborough of the young Andrew family in America 🇺🇸… Gainsborough also drew the Hector my forefather’s Ship. Your YouTube is so wonderful! Walter Scott is one ☝️ I hold as a great writer of all time.

The two most noted authors of Scottish works were both lowlanders, Scott from Edinburgh and Burns from Alloway, Ayrshire which is about 50 miles into Scotland from England.

A lot of interesting questions Erik. I’ll have to ponder them over my dinner and a dram.

For a humorous look at King George's time as Prince Regent I like Series 3 of Blackadder.

Any chance you'll delve into the era of Scotsman that first started trade & living among the Native tribes of America? Being half Cherokee & half Scot myself, it would be extremely interesting.

So, there's some number of waverley novel sets (2nd edition i think) dedicated to king george, by walter scott on january 1st 1829.
I have one such set, as do a few other people I've noticed online.

Any idea how many of these sets exist? Seems like an interesting marketing ploy by Scott.

I feel it was a good “kickstart” to expand the Scots Heritage!!!

My brother in law is buying his first house. Are there any Celtic traditions surrounding new houses or Celtic house warming gifts?

Whoa! I did not click on this video expecting to hear my surname and find out that one of my ancestors received the King of England on his visit to Scotland, but here we are. Great video, man, I’ll be on the lookout for more cool stuff like this on the channel as well as everything kilt related :)
