BRAVE residents from across the county have started the new year with a bang with the annual New Year's dip.
Kind-hearted residents donned a wide array of costumes ranging from swimming shorts and wetsuits to superheroes and suits complete with bowler hats.
Dips took place at Dunbar, Musselburgh, Port Seton and North Berwick entered the freezing cold waters with money being raised for charity.
