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 a home of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is stemmed from Doilleir, an Irish and also Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and also dismal, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). One more derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh location' (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 derives it as 'Place of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' and also ar 'area'. A further theory, linked to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", suggesting unhappiness.
