To further comment on Todd, I'll add this. If what you really *want* is a kilt in your family tartan, my advice is to save the money and get the real thing. Because otherwise you won't be satisfied. It's well worth it if it is what you want.
Not all traditional kilts are in the $500 - $600 range. Like Todd said, my box pleated kilts average about $350, because they use only half as much cloth. Most kilt makers also offer some form of 4 or 5 yard kilts (often called "casual kilts" or some variation) in the $300 range.
That being said, if you want a tartan that might be more cheaply available from Stillwater or another similar company, I'd lean towards the Black Watch. Your Lamont tartan is a variation of the Black Watch (a white stripe has been added), so it would be a close choice.
Aye,
Matt
