Like you, my desire to wear the "Loud Mcleod" comes through my wife. The incomparable Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess is a Nicol, which is a sept of clan Mcleod of Lewis. At first I hated the tartan, but after awhile I had to be impressed that so many people recognized it. Honestly, the most most easily identified tartans are Black Watch, Royal Steward, and...Loud Mcleod!
Eventually I changed my mind about the tartan and when Rocky offered it in PV, well I just had to have it. I have ordered both red Lewis hose from the Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartans Museum , black hose from Seamus at SportKilt, and bought two black shirts (one long sleeved and one short sleeved) in preparation for this kilt.
I'm jonesing!
Cheers
Jamie
