Watch Loony Dookers take the New Year plunge

New Year's Day revellers have braved the cold waters of Scotland in the annual Loony Dook events.

The dooks, a Scots word meaning to dip or plunge, began on 1 January 1987 when a group of friends went for a swim in the icy water as a hangover cure.

At South Queensferry scores of people took to the waters to blow away the cobwebs and start 2024 in style.
