The three major areas are: 1. The Southern Uplands 2. The Central Lowlands 3. The Highlands. The fault lines run: - in the south from Dunbar in the east to Girvan in the west - splitting the Southern Uplands from the Central Lowlands. - in the north from Montrose in the east to Dumbarton in the west - splitting the Central Lowlands from the Highlands. The Highland Boundary Fault (Highlands/Central) is quite a marked feature in places with the hills of the Highlands rising quite steeply from the farmlands of the north Central Lowlands. Slainte!
