Southern Uplands of Caledonia
Geography
Much lower than the Highlands, this region is dominated by smooth rolling moorland interrupted by many river valleys. Only the very highest places are as bleak and rugged as the Highlands. Elsewhere, the smooth hills form excellent pasture land for sheep farming, whilst many of the river valleys, especially those of the Tweed, Nith, and Tyne, are farmed for crops.
In the north of the region, the high ground extends to the sea where high cliffs flank the coast. To the south the ground sinks more gradually to lowland around the coast and due to the gentler climate, the region is capable of supporting a fairly large population, much denser than the Highlands.
