Kingdom of Alba

This project was created as a reflection of my personal experiences while living and studying in Scotland. I was inspired by its beautiful wild nature and fascinating history, culture and customs. Being able to explore scenic landscapes, while travelling around Scotland, supplied the inspiration for creating the story and the illustrations.

The story takes place in the Kingdom of Alba (Gaelic name for Scotland), with the main character Brea (meaning noble, strong, virtuous hill in Gaelic) meeting a friend representing the ever-present fog on the east coast of England and Scotland, called Haar. ​​​​​​​

They become best friends until Haar gets separated from Brea. She sets on a journey to do whatever she can to reunite with Haar. The story ends with a surprising twist, proving that true friendship lasts forever.
