hi morfis.im looking for frequancy codes to put in to my scanner.local codes if possible.regards will.

I think these "codes" you're talking about are actually frequencies. Probably the best thing you can do is find someone nearby that knows radios, and talk to them about what is used in your area.

As well as the yahoo group and online database in the sticky: http://forums.radioreference.com/uk-radio-discussion-forum/67028-uk-frequency-information.html
There is a yahoo group aimed at Scottish scanner enthusiasts: Scottish-Scanning : Radio Scanning Group for Scottish users.
For amateur radio in Scotland try: Amateur Radio in Scotland though I don't know of any club on the isles.
The radio society of good buddies may know of a local amateur radio club: Radio Society of Great Britain - Amateur radio news, information and resources

I'd steer clear of eblag CDs (and the uk scanning directory) as they are generally out of date or else copies of things you'll find in the yahoo groups
