		Confusingly, some parts of the Lowlands, such as the Southern Uplands are not physically 'low', and some sections of the Highlands, such as Islay are low-lying.
		Orkney and Shetland are sometimes called 'lowland', mainly because of their current language, but have a separate identity derived from the Norse to the point of some islanders not considering themselves Scottish.
		The term Scottish Lowlands is generally used mostly with reference to the Lowland Scots, Scottish history and the Scottish clan system, as well as in family history and genealogy.

	BBC NEWS \| Scotland \| Scotland's forgotten clearances
		Although evictions were not unknown, the Lowland clearances rarely involved teams of policemen and sheriff officers as they did in the Highlands and Islands nearly half a century later.
		The Lowland and Highland clearances were driven by the same forces: the rapid rise in Scotland's population, the growth of commercialism and the awakening of a free market economy dedicated to the pursuit of profit.
		The clearances were a Scottish phenomenon but they created two Scotlands: they helped transform the Lowlands into one of the most successful farming and industrial regions in Europe.

	Lowland Scotland.
		Tens of thousands of Lowlanders were moved from the land by estate owners who replaced them with livestock or enclosed fields of crops.

		It does not deny the clearances in the Highlands and Islands but reflects pioneering historical research which establishes them as part of a wider process of clearance which affected the whole of Scotland.

		The Agricultural Revolution in Scotland began in the mid-eighteenth century with the improvements of the lowland farmland and the beginning of a transformation of Scottish agriculture from one of the most backward into what was to become the most modern and productive system in Europe.
		Recent research is showing that the Agricultural Revolution led directly to what are now known as the Lowland Clearances, when hundreds of thousands of cottars and tenant farmers from the southern counties of Scotland were, in many cases, forcibly moved from the farms and small holdings they had occupied for hundreds of years.
		However, in time, the improvements in agriculture in the Lowlands, the so-called Age of Improvement, led to a more stable and modern system of agricultural production which was to make Scotland the envy of Europe.

		Certainly, the first phase of Clearance in the Highlands, from the 1730s to the 1820s, was marked by the same features as the Lowlands - the break-up of traditional townships, the creation of single-tenanted farms and introduction of competitive bidding for leases.
		As this evolutionary process lasted longer in the Lowlands, there was greater commercial confidence to undertake estate re-orientation by landlords, tenants and labourers; but this confidence was by no means lacking in the Highlands.
		Moreover, Highlands and Lowlands received massive injections of capital from the British Empire both before and after the loss of the American colonies in the 1770s, which was in turn translated into investment not only in mansion houses but also in ferm-touns, villages and town planning.
