Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a small town with a population of 2,800 individuals in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was when a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish as well as Scots Gaelic acceptation dark as well as dismal, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). Another derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh location' (cf Welsh dôl 'field'. This word was obtained from British or Pictish into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in obtains it as 'Location of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' and also ar 'location'. A more concept, linked to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it comes from Scots-French "Doleur", suggesting despair.
