Well that's a Leicester postcode .... miles from Scotland.
But don't despair - It's the postcode for Barclays mail processing centre which serves ALL their branches. You don't need to know where the branch is and indeed given that description (North Scotland 3) it isn't a branch, but a group of branches possibly covering several hundred square miles.
No reason why not. I'm just puzzled as to (a) what use the info is and (b) why people sign up to AB just to ask this rather than look it up on Google or ask their bank.
This also puzzles me why people in the adverts section do the same. Quite why anyone wants to know the name of a song that plays for a tenth of a second in the Maybelline adverts is beyond me.
AB used to be swamped with people asking this sort code question. They all had some things in common; newbies (green names), never say please or thank you, never answer when asked why they want the info. So hairyheed, why do you want to know?
