On 1st January every year, South Queensferry sees a gathering of brave souls hurling themselves into the chilly waters of the Forth to raise money for charity. Before the Loony Dook itself, participants, many in costume, parade through the streets…presumably to create as much body heat as possible before diving into the freezing cold water. Our Beastie Drummers led this year’s Loony Dook parade and Photopointer Milan Chudjak was there to capture the glorious madness in pictures!
