Southern Uplands

Common card · No. 442915

The Southern Uplands (Scottish Gaelic: Na Monaidhean a Deas) are the southernmost of mainland Scotland's four major geographic areas (the others being the Central Lowlands, the Grampian Mountains and the Northwest Highlands). The term is used both to describe the geographical region and to collectively denote the various ranges of hills and mountains within this region. An overwhelmingly rural and agricultural region, the Southern Uplands are partly forested and contain many areas of open moorland - the hill names in the area are congruent with these characteristics.
