Yes, and the site that I linked to says that they all came from the isle of Ireland roughly 2,000 years ago. I was responding to Monty saying that Scots are drunken Brits (I do know that the word "Brits" are supposed to mean a Romanized Celt but probably for the last few centuries or so it meant Anglo-Saxon):

I'm agreeing with you. My line's Scottish too, like these guys, but not some disgraced bunch of cattle rustlers.

Celts are from central Europe if we are being pedantic.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Since I'm going through Hardcore History from the beginning right now I'd love to see the post-Bronze Age Dark Age

Dangerous History did that in an episode. It's not nearly as good as HH, but it's something. I'll look for a link.

If we are continuing to be pedantic, it is believed that all Celts of the British Isles came from Northern Spain, especially the Irish, 3,000- 10,000 years ago. So, 3,000-10,000 years ago your ancestors came from Northern Spain.
