Hundreds of babies and toddlers in the north-east of Scotland have been making a splash to raise money for charity.
Sponsored challenges have been held at “Water Babies” classes in Aberdeen and Dundee as part of a UK-wide fundraising drive.
Some 37,000 babies are taking part across the country in a bid to raise £650,000 for two charities – the Children’s Alliance and Tommy’s, which carries out research into the causes of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
STV NewsThe theme for this year’s Splashaton event was “Splash Across the Seven Seas”, with teachers, parents and babies dressing up as pirates, mermaids and sea creatures.
Jenni Whyte, of Water Babies Scotland North-East, said: “Last year, as a region, we raised over £46,000, so we’ve been trying to match that this year.

“We’re all dressing up as pirates and hunting for treasure and having lots of fun while we do it.”
