Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a small town with a population of 2,800 people in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was as soon as an address of Mary, Queen of Scots. Possible analyses are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic acceptation dark and dismal, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (cultivatable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). An additional derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh area' (cf Welsh dôl 'meadow'. This word was obtained from British or Pictish into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in acquires it as 'Place of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' and also ar 'location'. An additional theory, linked to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", indicating unhappiness.
