I want to join

I don't know what I am or where I originate. If you look back in history (which personally I can't see any future in it) the name Lewis was one of the earliest recorded barbarians of Wales, whos family went to Scotland and married into the McClouds and becane the Lewis-McClouds and apparently something to do with the Island of Lewis. Also the Lewis-McClouds used the Motto Quocunque Jeceris Stabit in the mid 1200's and was adopted by the Manx in 1300..... Anyone help to give me a clue????:blast:blast:blast

The fascinating origins of the clan can be traced to Leod, who was born about 1200, the son of Olaf the Black, King of Man and the Isles. Leod married the daughter and heiress of MacRaild about the year 1220. Through his son, Tormod, came the MacLeods of Harris, Dunvegan and Glenelg, and through his second son, Torquil, came the MacLeods of Lewis.


Throughout the centuries MacLeods have been known for their devotion to their chief, the tenacity with which they have maintained the ancient Dunvegan castle, their appreciation of music and Gaelic lore, their outstanding record in the professions, and their loyalty to one another.
