HUNDREDS of hardy swimmers will brave the chilly waters of the River Forth today in the annual Loony Dook.
A total of 1100 bathers are due to take part in the New Year's Day dip in a bid to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charities across the UK.
The event, which takes place in the shadow of the Forth Rail Bridge, begins at 1.30pm with the Grand Dooker Parade led by a pipe band through South Queensferry before the dookers are due to take to the water.
