Answer 1

Different times for different reasons. The British crossed from Gaul to what is now England, and later walked to Scotland and Wales, about 1000 B.C. in pursuit of food and other resources. Another party of Celts crossed from Galicia in Spain to settle Ireland, displacing an earlier Celtic population, around 800 B.C. in search of trade resources.

Answer 2

Migration may not be the best way to describe the establishing of Celts in the UK.
