Random Scotland Address Generator
A random Scotland address generator produces fictional postal addresses formatted to Royal Mail conventions, using real Scotland post towns and postcode districts, for use as software test data.
Scotland is served by postcode areas including EH (Edinburgh), G (Glasgow), AB (Aberdeen), DD (Dundee), IV (Inverness), KY, ML, PA, PH, FK, KA, DG and TD. Local government is organised into 32 council areas rather than counties. This generator draws on 66 real postcode districts across 7 post towns in Scotland, formats every result to Royal Mail "Clear Addressing" rules and pairs it with a telephone number from an Ofcom range reserved for fiction. Every address is synthetic and is intended for QA automation, form validation and database seeding.

Frequently asked questions
- Are these real Scotland addresses?
No. The post towns, postcode districts and council areas are real, but the building numbers, street pairings and recipient names are fictional and the inward half of each postcode is generated. Nothing produced here is a live delivery point, so the addresses must never be used to send post.
- Which postcode areas cover Scotland?
This generator covers 7 postcode areas in Scotland: AB, DD, EH, FK, G, IV, PH. Together they contain the 66 postcode districts used by the generator.
- What is a council area?
Scotland is divided into 32 council areas for local government. Scottish addresses use the council area where a county line is needed; there is no English-style ceremonial county system.
- Can I filter the API to Scotland only?
Yes. Call GET /api/v1/addresses/random?country=Scotland to restrict generation to Scotland, or pass a specific post town with ?location=<slug>.
