While David Faux has raised an interesting proposal, that S28+ is a
"Celtic" identifier, I think a couple of items need to be
investigated further before leaping to that conclusion:

a) how to explain the presence of S28+ in both the Shetlands and
Greece, not known Celtic hot-spots
b) more details on exactly where in "Western Britain" it is found
in "a high percentage" (David is playing those cards very close to the
vest...)
c) if Wales, make sure it is not from a more recent source (Norman,
Viking, Anglo-Saxon), and even then, when make a resonable guess of
when it arrived there in a known historical timeframe
d) how to explain the absence of S28+ in Ireland or
Scotland (esecially if it does exist in Wales only)

Personally, I think David's original theory that S28+ is a
"Teutonic" identifier, coming out of a Balkan/Anatolian
refugeum after the LGM, and then up and around thru the Baltic/Scandanavian
area, makes more sense.
