Continuing on the subject of the Celts, I find it interesting that many other European countries have a history of Celtic habitation. There were Celts in Portugal, Spain, northern Italy, Bavaria, Austria, Czechoslovakia & even Turkey, in addition to the more well known countries. I would imagine therefore, that many Bavarians, Portuguese &c., have some Celtic blood.

I was going to ask.... would my Iberian blood get a foot in the door?

Isn't there a connection between the peoples of Northern Spain, particularly the Basques, and the Irish?

What is the difference between Celtic and Gaelic?

For all you jokers out there,

this is not a riddle but a serious question.

I got convict blood! with a bit of Scottish and Welsh thrown in. Far as I know I've been spared the English.

Gaelic is the traditional language of the Irish. Celtic isn't a language. The Celts (pronounced Kelts) are one of the principal tribes of Europe, like the Latin, Germanic, and Slavic peoples.

I've read that there's a connection between the Galicians and the Irish. Galician folk music is very similar to Irish folk music.
