The flower of the free, the heather, the heather

The Bretons and Scots, and Irish together

The Manx and the Welsh, and Cornish forever

Six nations are we, proud Celtic and free!

I thought Galicia in Spain was part of the group?

I think that while Galicia has celtic heritage, it is not counted among the Celtic Nations because they lost their language centuries ago.

Galician is a Romance language, though. Even if it retains the odd word of Celtic ancestry.

They used to have a living celtic language, but it disappeared with the rise of gallego. So nobody said gallego was a dead language.

It would make a lot of sense if the description were updated to mention that this is based on having a Celtic language. Galicia definitely still has Celtic culture. It’s sometimes called “the seventh” Celtic nation!

Yes, I agree. Been to Galicia and they identify as Celtic.

A research team at Oxford University has found the majority of Britons are Celts descended from Spanish tribes who began arriving about 7,000 years ago.

Even in England, about 64 per cent of people are descended from these Celts, outnumbering the descendants of Anglo- Saxons by about three to one.

Wow shocked at the results! People apparently dont really know anything about celtic languages/tribes etc. I thought it was very popular (you often find references in fiction and games, but also things named after it. And very popular for tatoos and other graphic things. Also a bit like the fascination people had with ancient egypt or atlantis. Or I guess with norse mythology )>

Scotland and wales were actually the last ones I thought of (think my order was breton, manx, cornwall, ireland scotland.. long pause, wales.)

It's not only Galicia but also Asturias that was an important Celtic settlement and one of the regions were Celts were more relevant at that time was Avila. Avila has still a lot of Celtic monuments, but the problem is that with the Roman invasion the Celts left Avila and moved to Galicia and Asturias.

Yes, England was pretty much wholly Celtic for a bit, and some outposts like Elmet retained a (Christianised) Celtic culture against the Saxons for a surprisingly long time. But not any more, obviously, except maybe in Ben Rhydding and the fringe theory that King Arthur came from Barwick-in-Elmet.

In Latin, Scotland is most often referred to as Scotia. Like for example Nova Scotia means New Scotland.

But it has also been referred to in Latin as Albania, which probably is derived from Alba, or wise versa. Cities like Albany, New York, comes from "Albania". It of course refers to Scotland, and not the country in Europe or the region in the Caucasus.

This makes more sense as to why as Gaeilge, Scotland is Albain

And the word 'Scotia' comes from 'Scotti' which is the name given by the Romans to the people who lived in 'Hibernia' (ireland). The 'Pictii' were the people who lived in 'Alba'. It was the settling of the country over the years by 'Irish' who brought the Gaelic language with them that gave it the name 'Scotland' (Land of the Irish). The Pictii spoke the Brythonic language spoken all over the rest of Britain.
