Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a village with a population of 2,800 individuals in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was as soon as a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is stemmed from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic acceptation dark as well as bleak, or from different words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). Another derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh area' (cf Welsh dôl 'meadow'. This word was borrowed from British or Pictish right 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' as well as ar 'location'. A further theory, linked to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", indicating despair.
