Is it worth adding a section about the fact that KW although now commonly referred to as the Kirkwall postcode was originally the Wick postcode (even though it was always KW)?

Addition - Its never been "commonly referred to as the Kirkwall Postcode - Its always been Wick, hence why Wick has the KW1 area. 81.187.214.39 (talk) 21:35, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
