And what a picture some of them were. The participants processed to the sea and then jumped in the River Forth. Yes it is madness, but with a good reason behind it. They are all in fancy dress braving the chill for charity. £1 from every ticket goes to the RNLI the charity which saves lives at sea.
It was not as cold as past years, but still takes a bit of heart nonetheless!
