The nature of my profession has demanded extensive cultural study. Bottom line is there just aren't any groups of people who can be called "pure" anything.
The best I can claim is to be northern European in ancestory. But you never know what may have slipped in there in the past.

Celtic has many meanings, however I hate labels it really does my head in when people claim to be this or that with a smattering if this, If we were all to claim to be of the pure celtic race then that would be silly, DNA constantly mutates, but if you are Scots or of Scots descent, then it matters not what DNA flows, if you heart is here then your a celt regardless of your place of birth- if I was born in a bakery I wouldnt be a loaf of bread!!
I think a Celt is a cultural thing, if you belive celtic legends and have in interest in Celtic history then a celt is as good a label as any, regardless of what Historians or some website says.
if I was born in a bakery I wouldnt be a loaf of bread!!
President Eisenhower was once asked if he considered himself a Texan because he was born in Texas (his family moved to Kansas later) -- he replied, "If a cat has kittens in the oven, do you call them biscuits?" :mrgreen:
