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.
