The Lowlands is a cultural and historical region in Scotland.
Characterized by flat or gently rolling terrain, the Lowlands include major cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow and are known for fertile farmland and historic sites. This region is more populous and industrialized than the sparsely populated Highlands.
Culturally, the Lowlands diverged from the Highlands during the Late Middle Ages, with Lowland Scots replacing Scottish Gaelic as the dominant language.
