Ancient History  Iron Age Celts  Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man   Who were the Iron Age 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 BCE, 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 also very clean. The Celts are credited with the invention of soap! They were fierce warriors. But they never founded an empire. They never built cities. They lived in small farming communities. They loved music. They loved to boast. And they loved to make up stories, especially stories about the little people - fairies, elves, leprechauns. Their culture lives on today in music, story, and song.   The Clans The Nobles The Peasants  The Warriors Roundhouses & Hilltop Forts The Artisans/Celtic Cross/Celtic Knots The Bards/Celtic Music The Druids/Religion  Celtic Festivals & Religious Holidays  Welsh Dragons Folk and Fairy Tales  Inventions & Achievements Free Celtic Online Games & Interactive Sites Free Powerpoints about the Celts A Tale of Weaving & Design a Torc lesson plans Free Presentations in PowerPoint format  Free Clip Art Return to the Iron Age Celts for Kids Index  All Rights Reserved    Clip Art Credit: Phillip Martin Have a great year!
