The Lowlands (Scots: Lallans or Lawlands; Scottish Gaelic: a' Ghalldachd, lit. 'place of the foreigners', pronounced[ˈaˈɣauɫ̪t̪əxk]) is a cultural and historical region of Scotland.[1]
The region is characterised by its relatively flat or gently rolling terrain as opposed to the mountainous landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. This area includes cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow and is known for its fertile farmland, historic sites, and urban centres. It is the more populous and industrialised part of Scotland compared to the sparsely populated Highlands.
Culturally, the Lowlands and the Highlands diverged from the Late Middle Ages into the modern period, when Lowland Scots replaced Scottish Gaelic throughout most of the Lowlands.
