What do you mean no Celtic connections?

A bit of history is in order here. The Celts owned what is now Germany, France and Spain prior to about 400 AD and Julius Ceaser. Germany and France were still one country untill about 1000 AD. EVERYONE in Western Europe has some Celtic blood, most of Western Europe is 100% Celtic!

These guys in Austria are NOT Scots in any way, shape or form but they may have a better claim to "Celt" than we do as a Scotsman is a mix of Pict, Celt and Norse.
