More than 80 per cent of Scotland's population live in the Lowlands, a vast swathe of land stretching from Aberdeenshire down to the border with England. This is a landscape characterised by sprawling urban centres, huge areas of agricultural farmland, fragmented forests and mighty rivers. It is the most intensely managed part of Scotland's landscape. However, wildlife clings on and in some places a few species are beginning to stage a comeback. Peregrine falcons and foxes are to be found in Edinburgh, water voles are now in Glasgow and beavers are evident along the River Tay. Narrated by Thoren Ferguson
