    Interesting question.
    Except of course for Scotland, Celtic presence was only sporadic and anyway poorly documented north of an Amsterdam-Berlin line, and clearly non-existent north of Hamburg.

    Sure! Look at Great Britain and Ireland, the legend of King Arthur, the infamous redheaded and fiery Queen Boadicea of the British Celtic Iceni tribe, who led an uprising in England against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire, etc. Also look at Celtic placenames and the various surviving Celtic languages.

    Yes, Celts predate Germanics in Iceland.

    Not counting the British Isles, some maps put them as far north as the Netherlands.

    What do you consider northern Europe? Of course, Scotland was full of Celtic tribes, including Orkney Islands.

    And according to this guy, the Cimbri tribe was a Celtic enclave (surrounded by Germanic tribes) in Jutland:

    And this map shows Celtic tribes / settlement areas in Poland:

    I think they were trading partners for a while and the Celts gave them tech,
    which the Proto-Germanics later used against them to exterminate them!
    Finally the Romans finished them off for good in Gaul.
    What an interesting history, of perseverance.
