My mother, Dorothy Milne, who has died aged 92, was a doctor who began her career specialising in family planning and later became a specialist in sexual health. In retirement she was a committed charity worker supporting women who have experienced trauma, crisis and exploitation.
Born in Glasgow, Dorothy grew up in Aberdeen, attending Aberdeen high school for girls and gaining a scholarship to study medicine at Aberdeen University. There she met Ronald Milne, an engineer, and they married in 1955.
