The Scottish Harp CD by Alison Kinnaird

Master of both the Scottish harp and the wire-strung Scottish clarsach, Alison Kinnaird has been a force in Scottish music for decades. She has strong views on the harp and Scottish music, and dislikes the term "Celtic" because she finds it limiting and inaccurate. She is also adamant that she is a harper and not a harpist. Alison has researched the Scottish harp traditions extensively, and has arranged numerous books of harp music. Alison has performed and recorded extensively.
Alison has always had two careers running parallel, as a well-known Scottish musician, but also as an artist in glass, whose work is collected internationally. In 1997, the Queen awarded her an M.B.E. for services to art and music.
