True-colour satellite image of southern Scotland
Southern Scotland. True-colour satellite image of southern Scotland, including the cities of Glasgow (at centre left) and Edinburgh (at right). North is at top. Edinburgh (Scotlands capital city) and Glasgow lie in an area known as the Central Lowlands; this is the most densely- populated area of the country. Hilly areas (brown) include the Grampian Mountains in the northwest and the Southern Uplands in the south. Agricult- ural areas appear as a patchwork of fields in the lowlands. The Firth of Forth (at right) and the Firth of Clyde (at far left) are sea inlets, whilst Loch Lomond (at top left) is a lake. Image taken by the Landsat-5 satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a true-colour satellite image of southern Scotland, providing a stunning aerial view of this picturesque region. The cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh take center stage in the frame, representing the bustling urban hubs nestled within the Central Lowlands. As Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh proudly stands on the right side of the image, while Glasgow graces the left with its vibrant energy. The landscape is a beautiful blend of hilly terrains and fertile agricultural areas. The brown hues highlight prominent features like the majestic Grampian Mountains in the northwest and the Southern Uplands in the south. In contrast, patches of fields create an intricate patchwork pattern across low-lying regions. Water bodies also play a significant role in shaping southern Scotland's geography. The Firth of Forth gracefully curves towards the right side, while at far left lies another sea inlet called Firth of Clyde. Adding to this natural splendor is Loch Lomond, situated at top left—a serene lake that adds tranquility to this dynamic composition. Captured by Landsat-5 satellite from space, this remarkable imagery offers an unparalleled perspective on Britain's scenic beauty. It allows us to appreciate not only Scotland's diverse physical features but also highlights its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. This Science Photo Library print serves as a testament to our boundless curiosity about our planet Earth and its wonders beyond what meets our eyes on land.
