If you want to try further afield then I would always recommend Stewart Christie here in Edinburgh. They have been bespoke tailors since the 19th century and will make you a kilt to be proud of.
Stewart Christie operates from a small shop that is devoid of tartan tat, but full of fine tweeds, an excellent selection of corduroy trousers, shooting sticks, and the sorts of things that a Scottish gentleman should have, even if he doesn't need them. They hand tailor the uniforms for the Company of Archers and, in my opinion, are the best kilt makers around. With GBP 1,500 to spend you should be able to obtain not only a superb kilt, but also a first class day wear jacket and waistcoat, and an excellent pair of hose to match up with your kilt.
