Summary
DG7 9AL is a large user postcode in Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway. It was first introduced in June 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.
DG7 9AL is in the Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas travel to work area. NHS services are provided by the Dumfries and Galloway Community Health Partnership Primary Care Trust.
