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?
