Legacy of the Scottish Harpers is a folk album released in 1986 by Robin Williamson.

Williamson had taken an interest in placing the harp in his music ever since Sylvia Woods played it in Williamson's album Journey's Edge.[1] On this album, Williamson has complete focus on utilizing the harp for his somber Celtic and folk tracks.[2]
