Loony Dook

Loony Dook 2026 is a New Year’s Day event where participants take a celebratory plunge into the cold waters of the Firth of Forth at South Queensferry. The event draws locals and visitors who don costumes and brave the winter sea together. It is a community occasion with a festive atmosphere and encourages walkers and supporters to join on the shoreline. The plunge has become a recognised tradition for marking the start of the new year and fosters a sense of collective challenge and camaraderie in a scenic coastal setting.
