    The Prince Regent became George IV. Here's a picture of him in Highland dress in 1822 when he visited Scotland.

    Arlen,

    As a reenactor, I can tell you that a tartan cutaway coat of the period would cost you in excess of $300US! If you'd prefer to spend a lot less, here's an affordable waistcoat you can wear with your kilt:

    Do you have a box-pleated kilt? That would be most appropriate. DO wear diced or tartan hose! Buckle shoes would be great, too (if you don't mind shelling out another $80 or so. You can find some on that same website). One of Diane's "Hebridean" bonnets would be perfect, especially with a diced band...!

    Find a copy of John Prebble's "The Kings Jaunt." It is about George IV and his relationship with Scotland. There are several plates inside with great paintings that might be able to help you with your costume and maybe a tone for your party.
    Have fun,
    Sara
