On August 17, 1822, King George IV of England visited Edinburgh. George's festivities were managed by Sir Walter Scott, who, according to Writing Scotland, encouraged George's choice of outfit; highland dress with pink leggings. All part of the tartan pageant that Scott organized.
George's visit was the first by a reiging monarch since 1650, and was viewed as a success by most.
