The Central Belt is part of the Lowlands. The Lowlands are made up of the Central Lowlands (also known as the Central Belt) and the Southern Uplands (part of which is the Scottish Borders). In fact, you have a much stronger claim to be a Lowlander than the guys you are probably thinking of as Lowlanders (I am guessing the bit you think of as the Lowlands is the Southern Uplands? ie Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders?). If you don't like Wikipedia, how about this academic gazetteer?

Although a forum is not exactly a reliable source of information, someone might actually think, because you are Scottish, you might know what you are talking about. I would hate for people to be misinformed as a result .

It is directly relevant to the topic too, because the Lowlands is the home of the language known as Scots and people may like to know where it was traditionally spoken. It would be an error to exclude Glasgow and the rest of the Central Belt from that heritage...

Skauwt--

Just ignore the Trolls-In-Training and eventually they'll slink back to their wee little cave under the bridge...

As for me, I tend to give more weight to the opinion of those actually on the ground, then those merely looking at "maps".

Cheers, Mr. Chisholm, CHEERS!

Paisley (where I live) is in the Central Belt (or Central Lowlands), about 6 miles south-west from Glasgow City centre. Just in case you need that spelt out, it means I am "actually on the ground". How long did you claim you lived in Scotland? And you don't seem to have heard of Scotland's biggest town? Wierd

I disagreed with you when you made controversial comments. That makes me a troll? When I joined this board someone clearly forgot to send me a list of the people I am not allowed to disagree with. Could you include it in whatever response you make? Thanks.

And skauwt, when (if) you can present a single shred of convincing evidence that the Central Belt is not considered Lowlands, I will admit I am wrong and apologise. Until then I will maintain that you are misinforming people from a position of perceived authority on Scotland (being Scottish and living in Glasgow), intentionally or not.
