there are many claims though that Celts were rather cultural than ethnical group. What about this? Maybe there were a few sub-groups for instance? (reflected in subclades of R1b)

There were definitely subgroups. Gauls, Celt-Iberians, Britons and Gaels seem to be the main ones.

Picts lived in Scotland, but I don't think anyone knows whether they were Brythonic or what.

How can we explain the fact the basque is not a celtic or even Indo-European language, but that also they have the highest R1b levels?
