Greetings from Czech Republic

**maie9999** · 15th March 22, 05:48 AM

Hello there!

I would like to introduce myself a little bit

My name is Nikola, I am living near mountains in Czech Republic, the nearest big well-known city is Prague

So far as I know, I don't have any Scotland ancestors. But I am in love with Scotland, its culture and language (hard one) , bagpipes (I am still in practice chanter stage

)) ) and rugby

)

As Czech, we have one registered Czech Tartan and I would love to have "kilt" skirt in this particular tartan and one "kilt" skirt in universal one..
But to be honest, I don't want to offend someone with wearing it.. In any way - as a girl and as a non-scottish person

So I am still in the prep phase and I hope that I will find my courage somewhere to do that.

Thank you and hopefully see you in other forums topics!

Welcome from Windsor ON Canada.

Welcome, from Inverness-shire. In all honesty, I think you might be better to consider wearing a Czech tartan, or a universal tartan in skirt form.

Thank you!
After your reply, I have slightly edited my post.. As English is not my primary language, I feel that my description was not so good as I have previously thought - whole time I was thinking not about the original, usual worn kilt with all accessories around as I feel that's something for men, doesn't matter which nationality, but for men or as an uniform ( i.e. in pipe bands..)

I had / have on my mind something I called kilt skirt - it means skirt from tartan fabric, not specified length, but one type I like is "wrapped" fabric into the heavy skirt or shorter version with sewed foldes.

What do you think now please?

You are doing just fine with your English! What you have in your mind and your description, is exactly what I have in my mind, after what you have written. Well done.

Hi Nikola - welcome from Scotland. You will not offend anyone wearing a kilted skirt in Czech tartan - I hope you will come to Scotland to prove that. (The Northeast around Aberdeen is the best part .

) What I'm not sure about is how easy it will be for you to get Czech tartan material.
All the best.
