Holmes who was born in Lanark, started his career in 1995 when he signed for Scottish outfit Hearts. Holmes made his first team debut on 10 May 1997. This was when he started in the 3–1 home win against champions Rangers in the last game of the league season. Holmes spent three months of the following season on loan at Cowdenbeath.
After the Cowdenbeath loan, Holmes started the following season in the Hearts first team squad. Among the games he played in were the home and away ties against Real Mallorca in the European Cup Winners' Cup and a 2–1 win against Celtic. After New Year, now aged 21, he was loaned out to Raith Rovers for the rest of the season.
Early in season 1999/2000 Ross County made a £50000 bid for Holmes. Told by manager Jim Jefferies that it was up to himself if he wanted to stay at Hearts or transfer to Ross County, Holmes took the decision to move to the Dingwall club.
