The Loony Dook: Swimmers in Wacky Costumes Brave the Firth of Forth

Like Halloween on steroids, the Loony Dook is the wackiest event I have ever attended. Because the three-day long Hogmanay celebrations aren’t enough for the Scots, on New Year’s Day, they tack on yet another event for those brave souls who want to fight their hangovers and raise money for charity – The Loony Dook! At this year’s Loony Dook hundreds of people took the plunge into the freezing waters of the Firth of Forth.
