Wouldn't say they at all identify more with Wales or other celtic regions but on the whole I have found them to be very warm people and largely welcoming. Of course tourism is a huge economic driver there so they probably just want my money.

It's a beautiful place though and definitely somewhere I would be happy to live, employment issues aside.
( employment issues aside) and their may lie current issues , there is poverty,lack of jobs , rich second home owners ,all eroding their identity.
