Hundreds of swimmers brushed the Christmas Day cobwebs away and braved the icy waters at Ayr beach on Friday morning in a sea dip for charity.
It was blue skies all round as the swimmers dashed in to the Firth of Clyde dressed as everything from Santas and elves to pirates.
The annual event is organised by Ayrshire Cancer Support and attracts a huge crowd of dippers every year.
Here are some of the best pictures from the morning.
