Alba is the Gaelic name for Scotia. It is also, in English-language historiography, used to refer to the polity of Picts and Scotti united in the ninth century as the Scotia, until it developed into the Kingdom of Scotland of the late Middle Ages following the absorption of Strathclyde and English-speaking Lothian in the 12th century. It is cognate with the Irish term Alba and the Manx Gaelic term Nalbin, the two other Gaelic languagess Insular Celtic languages, as well as contemporary words used in Cornish language and Welsh language, both of which are Brythonic Insular Celtic languages. The third surviving Brythonic language, Breton, instead uses Bro-Skos, meaning 'country of the Scots'. In the past, these terms were names for Great Britain as a whole, related to the Brythonic name Albion.

As you wander through the cobbled streets of Alba, you'll be transported back in time to a world of medieval castles, ancient churches, and quaint piazzas. The town is famous for its stunning architecture, with many buildings dating back centuries. The Gothic-style Cathedral of San Lorenzo is a must-see attraction, with its beautiful bell tower and stunning frescoes.

But the true highlight of Alba is its world-renowned cuisine. The town is located in the heart of Piedmont, one of Italy's most famous culinary regions. Known for its truffles, wines, and cheeses, Piedmont cuisine is a food lover's paradise. Alba is famous for its white truffles, which are harvested from the surrounding hills in late autumn. You can sample these delicacies at the town's many restaurants and cafes.
