The Scottish harp, also known as the clàrsach, is a traditional stringed instrument that has been part of Scottish culture for centuries. It typically features a triangular frame and is played by plucking the strings with the fingers. The instrument can vary in size and number of strings, often ranging from 22 to 38 strings, and is made from wood, with gut or nylon strings. This harp is distinct from the larger concert harp and is often associated with Celtic music. It has a rich history, with references found in ancient Scottish literature and art. The Scottish harp is celebrated for its melodic sound and is commonly used in folk music, enhancing the cultural heritage of Scotland.
