Those "Lions Rampant" symbolize the fact that the clan is part of Sept MacAlpine, as in Kenneth MacAlpine (or MacAlpin) the first king of Scots, who came from the Western Hebrides to conquer the Picts, married a Pictish princess, and become the first Scottish king. The British queen flies this flag over Balmoral Castle when she's in attendance there. You're descended from royalty, Laddie!

Mother’s family came from the island of Colonsay in the inner Hebrides.
I have read recently that the Western Islands are the last part of Scotland which is both conservative and religious.

That is quite similar to the Nova Scotia Tartan.

No jokes about tight Scots, but this tartan was a mistake.
Someone mistranslated the original order for “Tartar” sauce to go with Scottish Fish and Chips.
And the rest is history!
L’Chaim and Lox!

Some organs and cuts of meat are forbidden, even if slaughtered and prepared in a kosher manner.
“Although the Torah permits the meat from properly shechted Kosher animals, it prohibits fats found on the flanks and certain internal organs (e.g., the kidneys and intestines) of domesticated animals (e.g., beef and lamb).”
