Join curators from Royal Collection Trust to explore George’s fantastic love of ceremony, including his Coronation tours to not only Scotland but also Hanover, England and Ireland; discover the role played by the Palace of Holyroodhouse in the visit of 1822 and the legacy of this occasion for the city of Edinburgh; find out about his astonishing collecting tastes, including many masterpieces currently on display in The Queen’s Gallery, Edinburgh.
Participants can enjoy a tour of spaces used by George IV at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, together with a chance to see Collection items relating to his visit. Access to the State Apartments and complimentary tea and coffee are included in the ticket price.
