Irish Gaelic, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic (though not Scots) are Gaelic 
languages, sometimes called "Q-Celtic" or Goidelic. 

Welsh (along with Breton and Cornish) is not a Gaelic tongue. It is in the 
group sometimes called "P-Celtic" or Brythonic. 

The Celtic languages that used to be spoken on the Continent (like Gaulish) 
are another branch of Celtic altogether. 

The large language family that includes all of the Celtic, Germanic, Slavic, 
and Italic tongues (among others) is called Indo-European. According to most 
of what I've read, the Indo-Europeans seem to have migrated into Europe from 
Asia.
