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 home of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible analyses 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' (area) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). An additional 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 field' and also ar 'place'. A further theory, linked to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it originates from Scots-French "Doleur", meaning sadness.
