Hundreds get ready for Broughty Ferry New Year’s Day Dook

Hundreds of hardy swimmers are expected to take to the harbour for this year’s Broughty Ferry New Year’s Day Dook.

Organisers, Ye Amphibious Ancients Bathing Association, are hoping to get as many dookers as possible, and by 2017 they plan to recruit more than 1,000 so they can clinch the Guinness Book of World Records title for the “world’s largest dook on January 1”.

Last year 430 people made their way down the slipway into the harbour, cheered on by thousands of spectators.
