520    A short history of one of Ancient Britain's most enigmatic
       civilisations The history of the Celts is the history of a
       misnomer. There has never been a distinct people, race or 
       tribe claiming the name of Celtic, though remnants of 
       different languages and cultures remain throughout Wales, 
       Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall. The word keltoi first 
       appears in Greek as applied generally to aliens or 
       'barbarians' - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel 
       many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the 
       peoples of the British Isles to this day. Often seen as 
       unimportant or irrelevant adjuncts to English history, in 
       The Celts Simon Jenkins offers a compelling 
       counterargument. This is a fascinating and timely debate 
       on who the Celts really were - or weren't - and what their
       legacy should be in an increasingly dis-United Kingdom.
