How to Best Fix new Skirting to Wall Kitchens, doors, rails, stud, tables, chairs, stair cases, garden furniture etc... Find answers and ask questions here!

I removed the skirting in a 1930s house and the bottom of the wall is quite uneven to say the least.
I need to put new skirting on but am unsure as to the best way to attach it to the wall as nails or screws would probably crack the existing plaster in its fragile state.
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Thanks
