Nah, Gaels are (or were) people who speak the Gaelic languages and had cultural similarities, so the Irish, Scottish, and Manx.

The Gaels are a subset of the Celtic, who are split into the Gaels and the Celtic Britons. The remaining Celtic Britons are the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons. The historical Picts, who occupied half of what is today considered Scotland, were probably more like the Britons than the Gaels, but whatever was left of them was assimilated by the Gaels around the time the Anglo-Saxons showed up.

The present-day English are not Celtic at all. The Brittonic, who were Celtic, became the Romano-British when the Romans colonized the southern part of Britain, were conquered and almost completely assimilated by the Anglo-Saxons (West Germanic people) around 600 AD, and whatever Celtic was left in them was gone with the Normans (West Germanic and Norse) invading halfway through 1000 AD.

So the Gaels have long been culturally distinct from their English neighbors, which is something they seemed to have held onto even under the British Empire, only to become part of the decultured Western Multinational Economic Zone today.

That's your extremely abbreviated amateur history of the Gaels and their relation to their neighbors and greater cultural group.
