Early life
Allan is one of twin brothers born in Dunfermline in Scotland, the son of a photographer and photojournalist who ran his own photography shop in the town.[1][2] As a child Allan became a keen snorkeller and underwater diver, which inspired him to study marine biology at the University of Stirling.[3] His first job was as a pearl diver with Bill Abernathy, the last pearl hunter in Scotland.[4]

He frequently gives illustrated lectures and talks, including at the 2016 Cambridge University Expedition Society annual dinner.
