Summary
KW3 6YX is a large user postcode in Highland. It was first introduced in September 2019.
'Large User' postcodes are allocated to organisations which receive large amounts of post. Unlike standard geographic postcodes, which cover up to 80 addresses, a large user postcode is unique to a single address.
The geographic coordinates assigned to a large user postcode may not necessarily be the actual coordinates of the location to which mail is delivered. If the address is a PO Box, then the coordinates will usually be the Royal Mail sorting office which handles mail for that postcode. In other cases, the coordinates of the postcode may be the headquarters, or registered office, of an organisation rather than the building which receives mail.
KW3 6YX is in the Wick travel to work area. NHS services are provided by the Highland Health and Social Care Partnership Primary Care Trust.
