Loony Dookers take the icy plunge | Quote: | About 600 hardy revellers have blown away the Hogmanay cobwebs by plunging into the icy waters of the River Forth.
The annual Loony Dook was started by two friends in 1987, and raises thousands of pounds for charity.
Dookers from across the world congregated in South Queensferry for the event, which attracted hundreds of spectators.
Many of the fearless dookers were wearing fancy dress costumes, thongs and "mankinis".
The first Loony Dook took place on 1 January 1987 from the Moorings Lounge in South Queensferry, where Andy Kerr and Jim Kilcullen were discussing what they could do to celebrate new year.
Mr Kilcullen suggested they jump in the Forth to clear their hangovers, and the Loony Dook was born.
Elvis, Wonderwoman and Bananaman were among the characters who took a dip this year. |
