The future of Celticism I do not know.

On a hunch, I think that Britishness will have a revival. Overt Scottish, Welsh, Norn Iron regionalism is a passing sentiment. Most Britons in the the end are British foremost, or at least British second but not at all willing to do away with that identity.


Slightly related, but timely, the Grauniad ran a good article on Englishness last week, that identity Britain had all but forgotten about
