The 2014–15 Lowland League, is the second season of the Lowland Football League. Edinburgh City won their inaugural Lowland Football League title on 20 March after nearest rivals Whitehill Welfare lost at East Kilbride. As a result, City competed in a two-legged play-off for a place in the fourth tier of the 2015–16 Scottish Professional Football League which they lost to Brora Rangers on penalties after a 2–2 aggregate tie. Edinburgh City will therefore remain in the Lowland League for the next season.

Lowland Football League Play-off
It was proposed that the respective winners of the East of Scotland and South of Scotland leagues will play one another with the winner taking a place in next season's Lowland League. However, this is subject to strict licensing and entry criteria which will determine possible acceptance. As the play-off was not contested, Threave Rovers stayed in the division despite having finished bottom.
