Queen Mary Harp - (National Museum, Edinburgh). The Queen Mary harp, (clarsach) dating from the 15th century or possibly before, is among the oldest surviving Celtic Harps in Scotland. The woodwork is richly decorated with scroll-work, geometric designs, and carvings of animals. According to a story associated with the harp, Mary Queen of Scots gave the instrument to a female ancestor (by marriage) of the Robertson family of Lude, in Perthshire. Another theory is that the harp previously belonged to an Ulster harp player who died in Scotland. The Celtic harp (clarsach), is believed to be the true and most ancient instrumental accompaniment of Gaelic song. 🧡
