Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin welcomes first baby of 2025
The first baby born at Dr Gray’s Hospital in 2025 arrived this morning.
Baby boy Sealey Walter Holmes was born at the Elgin hospital at 7.31am on January 1, weighing 8 lbs 11.
The newborn is the fourth child for mother EmmyLou - and the third she has given birth to at Dr Gray’s.
She said: "I really wanted to labour here and the midwives have been amazing.”
Sealey Walter is a little brother to Hugo, Altaya and Bodhi.
An NHS Grampian spokesperson said: “Dr Gray's looks forward to making planned sections possible in Moray once again in 2025 as part of plans to deliver a full, sustainable obstetric service at the hospital.
“This is a wonderful start to the New Year. All the best to the Holmes family.”
A baby was also born at Dr Gray’s on Christmas Day - and Buckie Thistle defender Sam Morrison’s partner Ellen gave birth at Raigmore Hospital on December 25.
