    Well buddy, it's either St. Andrews, Edinburgh or Glasgow for you, because although there are other (very) good universities in Scotland, the people who tend to choose to attend them do so because they are either local and want to stay home (which is ominous in itself) or just very boring.

    I attended a peripheral university in Scotland, very good for Law and Zoology, but utterly boring on the social side.

    The choice really is between those three, the best being St. Andrew's, which is also very right-wing, so you would enjoy. :nod

    I was thinking about living in the Highlands, especially Inverness. I want to do things like archaeology, history, literature, and music. And I looked up Celtic studies and found that the University of Edinburgh offered it as well as the university of Aberdeen.

    Yes, saying Celtic culture is much too vague. How much did the continental European Celts really influence the ancient British? Many famous British Celtic symbols actually predates the Celtic arrival by a few centuries. I really think meta-ethnicity nonsense. The English aren't Germanic, I think they're simply British. Their culture is linked more with Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales, etc.. than Germany or Scandinavia. I believe the English have their own version of every Celtic holiday. So uhh... I think they're actually pretty Celtic lol.

    Keltic as it applies to the British Isles is less actual Hallstatt or La Tene Keltic, and more aboriginal history. There seems to be but little of that. More myth than fact. After the Roman occupation one enters a more pertinent, and reliable history. The present; a union built upon the latter English culture.

    Not many people can define Celtic culture, because they don't really know where to look for it. In Wales though (I can't comment for the other regions), Welsh culture revolves around the Eisteddfodau which are held annually. These are massive cultural events held solely through the medium of Welsh. Not only do these events highlight and strengthen the musical and literary talent that's within Wales, but they also act as a cultural bond and an occasion to make friends for life between those who speak the language. Apart from the events on the Maes, there is the real socialising that needs to get underway (in the National), notably drinking and singing with the old (and new) friends that one's made - a sort of Welsh apres-ski

    Whenever I see this, my spine tingles (yeah, they look silly, but this is serious stuff! )

    Chairing of the Bard - The Gorsedd Prayer

    Cerdd dant - a type of singing unique to Wales

    The Urdd Eisteddfod (it's the largest youth movement in Europe) is seen as a rite of passage for any Welsh speaking youngster. It's exactly the same as the National, but `without` the alcohol.

    I see that the OP is South Carolinian, I'd suggest to the OP working to preserve South Carolinian culture, not that I have any particular love for that state in relation to my beloved Tennessee yet it is still "Provincial", the greater Province of Carolina (South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and a good chunk of Georgia. Granted NC and consequently TN have a lot of Virginian blood, still once officially Provincial) has its own issues when it comes to preserving the cultures that shaped it.
