"The Tuatha de Danaan lived in northern isles of world, learning lore and magic and Druidism and wizardry and cunning, until they surpassed sages of arts of heathendom. There were four cities in which they learned lore and science and diabolic arts, to wit Falias and Gorias, Murias and Findias {Or Finias and possible Phineas Pharsa of legend's home.}. Out of Falias was brought Stone of Fal which was in Tara {In Eire, thus Falias was a provincial capitol city and Tara spiritual center of whole Keltic clandom.}. It used to roar under every king that would take realm of Ireland. Out of Gorias was brought Spear that Lug had. No battle was ever won against it or him who held it in his hand. Out of Findias was brought Sword of Nuada. When it was drawn from its deadly sheath, no one ever escaped from it, and it was irresistible. Out of Murias was brought Dagda's Cauldron. No company ever went from it unthankful. Four wizards (there were) in those four cities. Morfesa was in Falias: Estas was in Gorias: Uscias was in Findias: Semitas {Is this root of Semite?} was in Murias. Those are four poets of whom Tuatha De learnt lore and science."
From commentaries on Keltic lore that I have read and references to tales of Ossian commentators; I think there is a great deal of time up to current and corrupt presentation. Corrupted by years of telling tales and Christian re-writes of same tales. It therefore seems likely I would gain far less from tales of Ossian than I might hope for. The archaeological and historic record serves me better I hope. The truth is all I can do is make guesses. The phrase 'out of _____was brought' suggested they were often on move. The glacial effects were definitely a part of that for period from 13,000 B.C. till 4,000 B.C. and where these four cities were at any particular time would make telling of legends absolutely difficult to say for sure if that were only factor. There is no question that major centers of influence can be identified and we can look to certain technologies and social factors or names and languages to help our guesswork. Memphis was a clearly important religious center with a focus on magical sciences.
Malta was more of an ashram or training center and might also have had top secret 'chaos scientists' who worked on developing technologies like Pyramid/Earth Energy Grid. There are those like Boorstein who claim Crete was Atlantis all on its own. The Iberias may have been associated in a corporate trading enterprise that included Americas and Basque as well as post flood region of Black Sea. The region between Black and Caspian Sea was known as Iberia and had a capitol or main city of same name. It is now called Tiflis. The Iliad says Amazons came from this region. The Amazons were women fighters of Kelts as I see it. At same time Iberia was developing Tagus to Massalia (current Marseilles) region with Phocaean and Milesian peoples who are remnants of Royal House of Mallia on Crete from 2000BC. when anti-egalitarian movement really took off. In Bible we read about ships of Tarshis that traveled between these two Iberias, and their outposts including Anatolian archaeological digs.
