lowlanders
People of plains
Lowlanders are people who live in low-lying areas, particularly flat terrain near sea level as opposed to mountainous regions.
The term often appears in contrast to highlanders: The lowlanders traded grain with the mountain villages.
Capitalized, Lowlanders typically refers to inhabitants of the Scottish Lowlands.
