If Dougie had intended to talk about the Irish he would have said so.

It's a generic new-agey grumble about modern life (ultimately inspired by the "Celtic Twilight" bilge created by William Sharp), decorated with a couple of Scottish placenames. In that genre, vaguely allusive waffle is the standard rhetorical mode.

No culture in the British Isles, Celtic or otherwise, has ever gone in for firewalking. Geography lesson: wells tend not be on hills.

Dougie is a pretty good fiddle tune composer and it's a pity he didn't stick to that.
