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.
Dominic Simmons is a filmmaker based in Edinburgh. During the spring he was fortunate enough to spend several weeks filming foxes as they raised their young cubs in a den on the allotment. Gaining their trust, he was treated to 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.
You can now watch the intriguing ‘The Fox and the Allotment’ – a short, roughly 6 minute, film that Dominic has been making as a personal project.
