Allan was previously married to Malin Heen, with whom he had five children. He has subsequently remarried. In September 2022, Heen was found not guilty at Falkirk sheriff court of embezzling £47,000 from the Clanranald Trust, of which she was formerly an employee. In June 2012, Allan was hospitalised after being assaulted by two men shortly before he was due to play a concert at a hotel in Stirling. The beating was allegedly carried out by members of the Blue Angels Motorcycle Club, who accused Allan of helping the rival Outlaws Motorcycle Club establish a chapter in Dundee the previous year. Allan subsequently distanced himself from the Outlaws and withdrew from a scheduled appearance at a rock and blues event organised by the motorcycle club in Derby the following month. He said of the incident: "The attack was frightening and left me quite traumatised".
