Loony Dook
The Loony Dook continues its New Year’s Day tradition at South Queensferry as Dookers launch themselves into the freezing Firth of Forth.
About Loony Dook
Running since 1987, the Loony Dook has grown in popularity year on year with thousands of people raiding their fancy-dress cupboards in a bid to ring in the new year in style and win best dressed on the beach.
Tickets are on sale from £11.50, and each ticket bought includes a donation to the RNLI, access to the beach, main parade, and band performances.
