This chapter from a collection of essays published as 'Antrim and Argyll', (reprint 2022), looking at connections between Ireland and Scotland is a worthwhile article in its own right. The author explores both the musical background in general before looking at the specific sections, including the harp. It steers a careful path between fact and speculation and so offers a fresh view on an area usually lacking any studies in depth. The whole book is a worthwhile read but the specific chapter on musical connections can be found here.
