A Celt is a member of the Celtic race, who occupied most of Britain and parts of northern France a little over 2000 years ago. Due to invasions by other races the Celts in Britain were pushed out to the extreme parts of the island, ie Cornwall, Wales and the north and south-west (Wigtown and Kirkudbright)of Scotland. The invaders in Scotland were the Scots, who came from Ireland, and were the original sassenachs!

A Kelt is a salmon which has mated. A well-mended kelt is a salmon which has mated once, and is coming back for another try.

The truth is that the race name Celt was documented by the Romans, and it depends on the interpretation of the pronunciation of Latin - which is speculative, since the language is dead and foreign. Modern Scots generally like the C to be soft.
