TD postcode area
The TD postcode area, also known as the Galashiels postcode area, is a group of fifteen postcode districts in south-east Scotland and the far north-east of England, within seventeen post towns. These cover most of the Scottish Borders council area (including Galashiels, Lauder, Gordon, Earlston, Kelso, Melrose, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Hawick, Newcastleton, Duns, Coldstream, Cockburnspath and Eyemouth) and the northernmost part of Northumberland (including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Cornhill-on-Tweed and Mindrum), plus a part of south-eastern East Lothian and a very small part of Cumbria. The letters in the postcode are derived from Tweeddale. The TD postcode area is the smallest by population. Mail for the TD postcode area is processed at Edinburgh Mail Centre, along with mail for the EH, KY, PH, DD and FK postcode areas. __TOC__
