The morning began at 7:00 AM with registration, followed by a clothed yoga warm-up session led by instructor Libby.
At 7:45 AM, participants were piped into the cold waters of the Firth of Forth to start the dip. While nudity was encouraged to embrace the spirit of the event, people could wear whatever made them feel comfortable, such as swimsuits, wigs or face paint.
The event was organised by the Carnegie Dunfermline Rotary Club. Safety measures were in place, with lifeguards and first aiders on-site during the event.
