THE annual Loony Dook celebrations took place today where thousands of brave revellers started off their 2013 by jumping into the freezing waters next to the Forth rail bridge next to Queensferry. The event has proved increasingly popular over the years and is now a firm fixture for the town's New Year celebrations. Many of the participants arrived in fancy dress which led to a party atmosphere this morning.
