A native or inhabitant of the Lowlands, especially of the Lowlands of Scotland, as distinguished from Highlander.

A lowland dweller, in either a rural or urban community. The ethnic Lao are a typical example of lowlanders in Southeast Asia. However, some Lao have migrated into the highlands and are now permanent dwellers in highland communities. Conversely, some members of ethnic groups who are generally highland dwellers (e.g., the Hmong hill tribe) have moved permanently into lowland areas in Laos and Thailand.
