Fancy starting 2024 with a dip in the North Sea?
If you do you can join dozens of people who are expected to take part in the annual New Year Dooks at Arbroath and Carnoustie.
The events always get a great turnout of participants and spectators.
And they bring an early boost for good causes including cancer research.
Here is what you need to know if you want to take part.
Or if you prefer a dry (and warm) New Year’s Day, why not go along to show the daring dookers your support.
