Allan is originally from the West Highland fishing village of Mallaig and now lives in Fort William. Primarily a fiddler, whose red-tassled fiddle bears witness to his years of study with the great Angus Grant, Allan also plays whistle, pipes and piano and was one of the first graduates from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama's Scottish Music degree. Allan is also a founder member of popular band Blazin' Fiddles. He plays with the Fergie MacDonald Band and with Iain MacFarlane and was one of the first students to graduate from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in Traditional Music. He also teaches, and has done a bit of writing, having recently been involved in shadow writing the autobiography of Highland music legend, Fergie MacDonald.
