Cutstraw is a rural area to the east of the town of Stewarton in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
The district can be thought of as being in two parts:
- North Cutstraw
- South Cutstraw
North Cutstraw
Properties in North Cutstraw are accessed from the C113 (Cutstraw Road) that runs between Kirkford in Stewarton and the Clunch Road (C112). These include:
- Bogside Farm
- Cutstraw Cottage
- Meikle Cutstraw
- Mid Cutstraw
- Rysland
- Spott Cottage
- Spott View
- The Spott
These, and neighbouring rural properties, share the Royal Mail postcode KA3 5HU. Addresses take the form ‘property name’, Stewarton, Kilmarnock, KA3 5HU. Note that in the Royal Mail’s official Postcode Address File (PAF) these addresses DO NOT include any mention of ‘Cutstraw Road’.
The centre of the KA3 5HU postcode is near the entrance drive to Cutstraw Cottage, and some satellite navigation systems will unexpectedly default to this location for addresses in the KA3 5HU postcode area.
Cutstraw Road is in two parts. The start lies within the town of Stewarton and the remainder, to the east beyond the mini-roundabout, is a rural road. Within the town there are addresses 1 to 26 Cutstraw Road, all of which share the Royal Mail postcode KA3 5HX.
South Cutstraw
Properties in South Cutstraw are accessed from the B778, on the part of that road just east of Stewarton. These include:
- High Cutstraw Farm
- Little Cutstraw House
- Little Cutstraw Farm
These, and neighbouring properties, share the Royal Mail postcode KA3 5JE.
