3. Please note; the Postcode 2022_1 to SGUR_2020 lookup, initially realised alongside this publication, will only be available temporarily. This is due to a new release of NRS Scottish Postcode Directory (SPD) which will be published in Autumn 2022. If the Postcode 2022_1 to SGUR_2020 lookup is unavailable for download as a supporting document from the SGUR 2020 publication webpage, users are advised to access the latest SPD from Scottish Postcode Directory (SPD) | National Records of Scotland (nrscotland.gov.uk) which will have a postcode to SGUR 2020 lookup incorporated.
