Indeed. Since all the men in my branch of the Withnell family are 6'+, broad and reddish gold haired, I believe we are descended, as my grandfather put it, from Vikings that stopped on West coast of the White Isle for supplies and left behind a genetic deposit. And since Withnell is a corruption of Willow Hill in Old Celtic, and with Davies, Kelseys and myriad other Celtic names in the mix, we are also Celtic. But that's not the reason I am a kilted Viking. I am a kilted Viking because I enjoy pillaging, and I enjoy it more when kilted!
