Spectators gathered on the shore at South Queensferry to watch the annual Loony Dook fundraiser on Wednesday.

Swimmers dressed as the Statue of Liberty were among them, with others opting for kilts, T-shirts or traditional beachwear for the event.

Money raised from the event goes towards the RNLI.
