Doug Allan - Nature Camera Action is one of the world’s best known and respected cameramen. His images have been published in numerous magazines and books, and he’s contributed memorable sequences to classic BBC series like The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, Ocean Giants, Forces of Nature and many others.
Doug was in Birnam five years ago, he’s returning with more stories and pictures.
Is it true your eyeballs freeze at minus 50? How do you get close to orcas under the ice? Can you really talk to whales? What’s the key to camerawork at 7500m on Everest? How is it sharing a Mars bar with David Attenborough, and a bed with Ewan McGregor?
Come along and chill out with Doug, when all will be revealed!
Doug’s book will be on sale on the night

What a warm and lovely welcome for this Yorkshire author. Thank you. Birnam Book Festival, author

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.

My alternative office, my morning cup of coffee, the place where we run our workshops, meet friends, come to concerts ... Without Birnam Arts our community would lose a bit of its soul.
