Caring for your eyes is our family business. Since the practice was established by James Reid Mackellar in 1936, we have provided eyecare for thousands of patients at Reid Mackellar Opticians, making us one of the most experienced opticians in Scotland. Today, Reid Mackellar Opticians is still a family business, proud of its strong roots in the Inverclyde community. James Mackellar, son of our founder, qualified as an Optometrist in 1972 and joined the family business in 1973.
