If you believe Farley Mowat in Farfarer the original settlers of Iceland, Greenland and North America were the pre-Celtic inhabitants of Scotland who predated the Vikings by several hundred years in all of those locations. This is not too farfetched then.

Do you have a tighter date than that? Technically, the pre-Celts were either (1) Israelites who left Egypt by sea prior to the overland Exodus, or (2) Israelites who left Moses merry band after the overland Exodus but prior to the Assyrian Captivity of the Northern Kingdom ~922 BC. That would be almost 2,000 years before the Vikings discovered America.

However the many different and dispersed Celtic tribes had lots of time between their appearance at the same time and place the Northern Kingdom (Lost Tribes of Israel) appeared in history ~610 BC, and the time of the Vikings.
