Alba's secret.
When Alba travelled to Scotland, she never thought that a piece of cloth would take her to a place called Clootie Well.
Alba had a piece of cloth with her name since she was little. Her parents who admired the Highlands decided to call her Alba because in Gaelic it means Scotland.
When she was 18 years old she travelled to Edinburgh. She spent the first night in a hostel called Another Room. Inside the hostel, a painting caught her attention. It was a tree with beautiful green leaves and many pieces of cloth tied on its branches. Alba took her piece of cloth from her pocket and she knew she had to find that place.
At the heart of Inverness there is a forest called Clootie Well where people ask for wishes to the trees and leave pieces of cloth with their names tied on the branches.
Legend says that the wish is fulfilled when the piece of cloth falls from the branch over time.
And that was how Alba's secret became a wish when she tied her piece of cloth to a branch.
