Awww so sorry to read this sad news of Dr Holden. I worked alongside him for a good few years at the Galloway community hospital OPD in Stranraer. He was a pleasure to work with. Loved his wee quirky jokes! Love to all his family.

Dr Holden I can't believe that you have gone. We worked together for years and you were very supportive to me when I was going through bad times. I will never forget that. The last time I saw you was at Karen's funeral and you were going to tell me a story about a tree but we were interrupted and when I turned round you were gone. R.I.P I will never forget you xx
