Check your atlas - "these islands" are north and west of Austria, not south and east. I don't deny that we had a common "European" origin some time after the first people left Africa, but...
To put it in modern terms - it is true to say that all Austrians are Europeans, but it is untrue to say that all Europeans are Austrian.
The "Celtic" label was erroneously attached to the group of languages of the western indigenous people of Britain and Ireland by Edward Lluyd in 1707 - about the same time as all the bogus Druidic stuff was invented. Time to nail that one and find out who we really are.
