Hungarian Scottish skirt (kilt)

[McKovacs]

Hi guys, my name is G Kovacs .
Young ish dude from Hungary, liwing in the Midlands.
Recently been made an usher in a Scottish wedding and put into a "hybrid kilt" and loved the experience.
And obviously love Scotland, a good Burns night celebration, and a good cèilidh dance. Looking into a Hungarian tartan, just for information gathering. I'd anyone aware or could give me any info that would be very welcomed.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the Forum.
I was in Hungary in 1985 for a couple of weeks for a friend's wedding. I'm sure it has changed a massive amount since then!

Thanks for the welcome.
And yes it did changed an awful lot since I was 1 years old (in 85' .
It is much better for the tourists, more peeps talking English, more options on tours and all.
Worth a visit for sure.
Any idea on "hungariantartan"?

Sorry, ciouldn't find any obvious tartans connected with Hungary. Searched for Kovac, Hungary, Hungarian, Budapest, Magyar, & Onogur at both the Scottish Tartan Authority website and the Scottish Register of Tartans website. No results. You might try the various county names and the names of the 7 regions. Also tried the three colors in the Hungarian flag, got 77 hits. Good luck with your search.

How about Drummond of Perth?

Drummond? Are they Hungarian?

Scotweb has this to say on Clan Drummond's Hungarian connection:

Clan traditions credit the founder of the clan as Maurice of Hungary, a Hungarian prince descended from Arpad, who is said to have accompanied Edgar Ætheling, heir to the English throne, and his sister Saint Margaret of Scotland, when they sailed there in 1066. This disregards accepted history that Edgar and Margaret were brought to England in 1057 by their father, Edward the Exile: Edward died immediately, and his children lived at court with their mother Agatha; Edgar, about thirteen in 1066, was elected king after the battle of Hastings and the death of Harold, but together with the rest of the English government surrendered to William of Normandy at Berkhamsted two months later (December 16th 1066). He first sailed to Scotland, accompanied by his mother Agatha and sisters Margaret and Christian, several years after 1066. In turn Maurice was the son of György, who, according to Europaeische Stammtafeln, went to Scotland in 1055 and became ancestor of the Drummond family. E.S. cites a 1959 work published in Warsaw as the source for this. It has long been asserted that the Drummond family was founded by a Hungarian who returned to Britain with Edward Ætheling, so this may be true. György was an illegitimate son of Andrew I of Hungary.

Welcome from a Scotsman also living in the English midlands (though the Midlands covers a large area!). Fascinated to read about the Hungarian/Scottish connection.
