Thanks to all! You are a very welcoming bunch.

But still... any specific tartan suggestion? Anything that might reflect the old alliance between Portugal and Britain?
I've been searching and the only tartans that I might feel symbolicaly "right" are the Black Watch and the Stewart Hunting. But then again... these are very much "default" tartans, right? And I would like to avoid choosing a clan tartan just because I like the colours and then read up on the history so that I might know the tartan...
I'm looking for some sort of connection.

Of course, I could design my own tartan. But that would become rather dear...

Plus, do you think that a polyviscose kilt might be a good option? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. But again, a wool tartan would be a better investment and look better as well... Oh, so many questions!
