Individual letter
Number Plate Letter S
The Scottish letter — Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.
S opens every Scottish memory tag, issued through Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness. Any workshop north of the border works through S faster than any other letter. The double curve has no enclosed counter but two tight bends, so it needs pressure at both.

Where the S appears on UK plates
- All Scottish area codes begin with S.
- S also appears in the random three letters across the UK.
Ordering and fitting the S
- Scottish workshops should treat S as their deepest-stock letter.
- Press both curves, not just the middle, so neither tip lifts.
Questions about the S
- Why is S so heavily used in Scotland?
- Every Scottish-issued area code starts with it, so it appears on a large share of local registrations.
- Is S easily mistaken for 5?
- On a photograph, yes. The 5 has a straight top bar; the S is curved throughout. Scan the item code if in doubt.
