What are the Lowlands ? |
|||
The
Lowlands of Scotland are the green hills bordering England.
Stirling, in the north, is the gate between the Lowlands and the
Highlands. To the north of the Lowlands are Edinburgh and Glasgow in the
valleys of the Forth and Clyde Rivers, where 60% of the population lives.
The
Lowlands are blessed with a mild climate and you see rich rolling
farmland, green pastures and beautiful gardens, but you will also find
rugged seacoasts.
North of Dumfries is Ellisland Farm where Robert Burns lived and wrote his works. Along the Scottish Borders in Abbotsford near Melrose Sir Walter Scott, the famous Scottish writer, lived.
