The popular January 1 event to mark the New Year is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
Temperatures were said to be below zero as the Loony Dookers took to the water.
Some were in fancy dress, but others looked chilly in swimming costumes.
Organisers of the free, no-ticket event said it was “the original and best hangover cure, with the amazing backdrop of the Forth bridge”.
The Loony Dook was started by locals, but then became part of the official Edinburgh’s Hogmanay programme until 2023, when locals reinstated it as a free, local event.
Scroll through the pictures and see how the Loony Dookers welcomed 2026.
