I'd say, LEWIS is very much a Scot surname (from the isle mentioned above, a MacLoed stronghold). Get a kilt, in Loud MacLoed, and WEAR IT WITH PRIDE-> the addiction has begun, never to end (maybe slowed by bank acccount and famili expenses ).

Loud MacLoed is also called MacLoed dress and MacLeod of Lewis!!
(That id the bright yellow and black tartan. Personally, I like it, but others don't (too loud for them). Well, I also like yellow. :mrgreen:

My wife, grandmother was a Lewis from Conway, South Carolina. If you've got family in that area, you, my wife,and my kids are probably related! I could wear loud MacLoed, to honor my wife's grandmother (who is still living). It is on my long term list, but not immediate.

For that matter,I could also wear the German National to honor my own grandmother (and my wife's Lutheran family roots-> on her paternal side).

Again, welcome and enjoy!
