Ballachulish and Kinlochleven were originally coded PA39 and PA40 respectively, before being transferred to the PH area in 1999 as PH49 and PH50.[3] The PA80 district was formed out of the PA34 district in 2011 following a campaign by residents of Morvern.[4][5]

Until January 1995, PA80 to PA87 were allocated to the islands of the Outer Hebrides, after which these formed the HS postcode area.
