KA27 8RW is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.

Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (KA27) is called the outward code. The part after the space (8RW) 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.
Postal District. In our case KA27.
Postal Sector. In our case KA27 8.
Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case RW.

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.

The final port of call for any post addressed to the KA27 8RW postcode is the local delivery office (DO) which is . Here the post will be sorted ready for delivery.
