Kirkcaldy’s Loony Dook brought huge crowds to the beach for the traditional Ne’er Day dip.

Perfect weather conditions saw a substantial turn out watch hundreds of people race into the Forth for the most bracing of dips on January 1.

The club is now busy adding up all the sponsorship donations to give it a bumper total.

The Loony Dook’s theme was super heroes, and many people dressed for the occasion, all racing into the sea at the midday start. The Promenade was also packed with spectators – arguably one of the biggest turn outs in recent years.
