Margaret Steventon Optometrist

It has been my privilege to provide eyecare services to the community of Ullapool and surrounding area for the past 20 years but the time has now come for me to retire from community eyecare. I would like to personally thank you for your support over the years.  Margaret Steventon Optometrist (also known as Ullapool Optician) will be transferring ownership of the practice and all clinical records to the Goskirk Pettinger practice in March 2026. We are delighted to inform you that they will be continuing to provide this community Optometry service from the same practice location here in Ullapool.

**We wish you well with your retirement Eds.
