The people groups who speak the Celtic languages, primarily of [[Ireland]], [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Cornwall]], [[Brittany]] and the [[Isle of Man]]. Other nations and regions with Celtic heritage, music and customs include, [[Galicia]] in Northern [[Spain]], and [[England]], whose people are a similar mix of Celt, [[Scandanavian]], and [[Germanic]] to the Scots. However, unlike Scotland, where the [[Gaelic]] Language was introduced from Ireland, no extant Celtic languages are spoken in England or Galicia.
    
The Celts were the first ethnic group to become widespread in Europe. Using tribes rather than stable civilizations, the Celts began in central Europe and migrated west beginning in about 500 B.C. to the British Isles (especially Ireland) and also northwest France and portions of Spain. Their religion consisted of worshipping gods and goddesses, and their priests were called “druids”. They had no written language but often told myths and folktales.
