Hi Celt and welcome!  I'm half Irish myself and will be visiting the old sod next month, as well as your neck of the woods.

Ray, I think you can be an honorary Celt by virtue of the fact that you lived in Cornwall, which I believe is one of the big five Celtic nations.

 


HiRuth

You are right about Cornwall. also, Celtic people are traditionally fairly dark, and have different characteristics to the fairer haired, blue eyed Anglo saxons.  So I do consider myself a Celt.

Re the 'old sod' give him my regards when you see him!

Where did they come from? What we do know is that the people we call Celts gradually infiltrated Britain over the course of the centuries between about 500 and 100 B.C. There was probably never an organized Celtic invasion; for one thing the Celts were so fragmented and given to fighting among themselves that the idea of a concerted invasion would have been ludicrous.

The Celts were a group of peoples loosely tied by similar language, religion, and cultural expression. They were not centrally governed, and quite as happy to fight each other as any non-Celt. They were warriors, living for the glories of battle and plunder. They were also the people who brought iron working to the British Isles.
