Getting to know the Celts

The Iron Age Celts were a tribe of people who lived all over Europe about two thousand years ago. At one time, you could find tribes of Celts in modern day Spain, France, northern Italy, and as far east as Russia. Around 500 BC, the ancient Celts migrated and settled in modern day Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. 

                                                                                                                    
The Celts were a proud and honorable people. They were fierce warriors. But they never founded an empire. They never built cities. They lived in small farming communities.

They loved music. And they loved to make up stories, especially stories about the little people - FAIRIES, ELVES, LEPRECHAUNS.... Their culture lives on today in MUSIC, STORIES, and SONGS.
