This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Strath, Isle of Skye and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:

“Next to Loch a’ Mhullaich, ‘the loch of the summit’, is Leac a’ Chlàrsair, ‘the slab of the harper’. This is not a slab of rock, as you would expect, but an exposed part of the bedrock in the shape of a clàrsach or Scottish harp.”
