I've recently discovered my roots and, along with being related to everyone's favourite bartender Jack Daniels, I'm Scottish and Welsh! I'm very interested in learning more about my ancestry and embracing that part of my life. Are there any communities or groups in or near Portland, Oregon, that celebrate these two heritages/cultures? (Yes, I already know about the Highland Games.)

when was the welsh language created im 13 love languages and to learn about cultures im also very good at geography and currently study bsl (british sign language) but i am curious about welsh language no affence but its invented by the welsh people quite recently its not much of a language then i though though..so was irish..so im curious 'when was the welsh language created'?

I had an interesting conversation about 8 years ago with a visiting Scot. He confirmed for me that in Scotland's eyes-if you are born on this side of the Atlantic, you're not a Scot you're a yank.
That's always been the way I've thought of it.
I don't wakl around saying I'm Scottish, irish or Welsh when I'm not.
I'm an American. I don't even use Irish American or Welsh American. American should be all that's needed on the subject.
But two years ago, I talked this over with a student who had spent some time in Ireland and she said the opposite. That Irish Americans are regarded as Irish (or very close to Irish) in some parts of Ireland.
So I have Welsh, Scot, and Irish in my family tree. All cultures from the British Isles that are not actually Britsh are represented in my blood.
What do the Welsh, Scots, and Irish have to say on the subject?
