There is no shortage of Scottish Hogmanay traditions to partake in, a few of which date back hundreds of years.
Some of these involve giving presents such as black buns and whisky, while others are as simple as the eating of a steak pie today on New Year's Day. One of the newer ways to celebrate, however, is a bit more unusual.
The Loony Dook is an annual tradition that started in 1986 with three South Queensferry friends. As a joke, they decided that the best way to cure their Hogmanay hangover would be to dive into the freezing waters of the Firth of Forth.
