A Grand Ball, to include dinner and dancing, will be held in the Ballroom at Hopetoun House to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of King George IV’s visit to Scotland and in particular his visit to Hopetoun House. That historic visit was devised, designed and orchestrated by Scottish historical novelist, poet, playwright and historian Sir Walter Scott. The seventeen day tour was the first visit of a reigning monarch since that of King Charles in 1651.
The event will be held in the presence of the ‘King’ and ‘Sir Walter Scott’ (professional re-enactors) and will encompass many aspects of the receptions that King George attended during his visit. There will be Regency dances, quadrilles and Sir Walter Scott dances to a live Scottish band.
This event has been arranged by a third party and all tickets must be pre purchased via the below link
