The Kilt & Harp is the quarterly journal of the Scottish Harp Society of America, Inc. It aspires to represent all voices of the Society, including in its pages member news, articles on history, theory, harp care, product reviews, Scottish music and culture, and more. There is a regular fiction column, with traditional stories and poems, to help our readers better appreciate the culture from which our harps and their music come.

Every issue also includes at least two tunes, arranged specifically for the small harp or clàrsach. Often these arrangements are from master harper recording artists who are members of our Society. We also from time to time print the finest work of our non-professional members. Very often, these arrangements are written specifically for the pages of the Kilt & Harp and are not available anywhere else.
