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.
