If it were me, I would recommend a district tartan.

Well, there's always the Wilson tartan itself (my avatar), but if I want to convince my wife to be seen in public with me in a kilt, that wouldn't be her first choice!
I'm not that crazy about the Perthshire district tartan, and as I've found related Wilson's who migrated to Dunbarton, Lanark, & Stirling, I looked for district tartans for them, but don't find any on the Ferret.
I do have other choices, though. My paternal g'mother was a Douglas, & her mother was a MacKenzie. Her brother was in the Black Watch in WWI, and I also am partial to the "Scotland Forever" tartan.
