Massive stars unquestionably are sources of Al-26. However, if these stars are distributed over the Galaxy as understood from observational evidence, they are inadequate to produce the observed gamma-ray signal from Al-26. Here, the local production expected from the Sco-Cen association is considered, and this source is found to be a strong candidate for the source of Al-26. This model leads to a unique distribution of gamma rays in the sky.
