Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (KA18) is called the outward code. The part after the space (3NF) is called the inward code. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:

Postal Area. In our case KA which means Kilmarnock.

Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case NF.

The regional mail center for the post area KA is the Scottish Distribution Centre, which is located at Canyon Road, Excelsior Park, Netherton Industrial Est, WISHAW, ML2 0XX.
