Map showing the location and eventual division of the Debatable Lands
The Debatable Lands, also known as debatable ground, batable ground or threip lands,[1] lay between Scotland and England.[2] It was formerly in question as to which it belonged when they were distinct kingdoms.[3] The name either signifies litigious or disputable ground,[4] or it comes from the Old English word 'battable' (land suitable for fattening livestock).[5]
