The Fox and the Allotment
Film Director
Camera Operator

In the heart of Edinburgh, a fox family has found a quiet sanctuary in a beautiful allotment. Living in harmony with the close-knit allotment community, these foxes live a carefree wild city life.

During the spring of 2018 I was fortunate enough to spend several weeks filming these foxes as they raised their young cubs in a den on the allotment. Gaining their trust, they gave me an intimate look at their daily lives and the bond they've formed with the allotment gardeners – many of whom consider these foxes a part of allotment community life.
