Lowlands is the second biggest whisky region in terms of its area, but it's currently only home to fewer than five distilleries. The Lowlands region covers the south of Scotland up to the north of Glasgow and Edinburgh. It meets the border of the Highlands; the line follows the old county borders running from the Clyde estuary in the west to the River Tay in the east. Anything south of this is to the border with England is classified as the 'Lowlands' in whisky terms.

Lowlands whiskies tend to be light and gentle with no peatiness; unlike any other region, they were once all triple distilled. Only Auchentoshan uses this technique now for all of its production. Due to the inland location of the distilleries, there is slight salinity within the Whisky; because of this, Lowland Whiskies are a great entry into malt whisky.
