I say wear your kilt proudly for your mother's tribe. My only suggestion for your dress is that you might add three eagle feathers to your bonnet to honor your father's clan.
Joey -
I don't wish to go off topic here, but I would not wear eagle feathers when in Highland attire. Three feathers is the sign of a Clan Chief. The use of one, two, or three feathers has a specific connotation. My guess is the Tartan Police would be all over you were you arrive at the Ball wearing Highland attire and eagle feathers.

Enjoy the Ball
