An award-winning cameraman has praised Scotland’s scenery and said it is one of the best places in the world to learn how to dive.
Doug Allan, originally from Dunfermline, has worked with Sir David Attenborough on series including Blue Planet and Frozen Planet, going on to win five Baftas and four Emmys, among other industry awards.
The 68-year-old had years of experience working with the British Antarctic Survey before picking up a camera and heading down a new career path as a freelance film-maker.

He said: “I’ve seen the world encompass some big changes but I’ve also seen the world at its very best. I sometimes get asked ‘what’s on your bucket list, where would you like to go next?’
“I’m looking forward to spending more time in the UK, particularly Scotland and the west coast of Ireland. When those two are at their best they are unsurpassable. It really is the most beautiful scenery on our doorstep.”
