A place or state where things are frightening; a region of fear or alarm (Scottish and Northern English dialect).
From fley (to frighten) + -land (a suffix creating place names, from Old English land meaning 'territory'). This is a dialectal compound showing how -land can create imaginative place-words.
This whimsical place-name never appears in actual geography, but it perfectly captures the Scottish love of creating compound words—your worst nightmare is literally 'fear-land'!
