Reprinted book on Druids from 1809 available to download.I think the name is Celtic and referred to anybody possessing great knowledge/skills.
All the information I have found is a little wooly and simply states that druid did not exist in Britain when SH was completed. However, is there any evidence at all that the celts (and therefore possibly druids) were in Britain earlier than is generally thought?
Or maybe they never really existed at all!

Mythology and rites of the British Druids ascertained by national documents and compared with the general traditions and customs of heathenism, as illustrated by antiquaries of our age. With an appendix, containing ancient poems and extracts, with some remarks on ancient British coins.
