Did the last name Reid ever belong to Jewish Scots?
Although Scotland was possibly the only European country never to enact anti-Jewish legislation and/or expel its Jewish population, very few Jews lived in the country before the late 1800s. Jewish immigration came initially from Germany but then overwhelmingly from eastern Europe - Poland, Russia and particularly what's now Lithuania. Of course, the Jewish immigrants arrived with 'Jewish' family names typical of eastern Europe but, assimilating in the second generation (and particularly during World War 1 when 'German' names like Goldberg or Rosenblum were not a good idea in Scotland) many Jews adopted typically Scottish family names. So Cohen became often Cowan and and many Roths and Rothmans became Reids (both names mean 'red'). To that extent Reid is not an uncommon Scottish Jewish family name (it's my name in fact) but most Reids are, of course, not Jewish.
