Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a town with a population of 2,800 individuals in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was once an address of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible analyses are that Dollar is stemmed from Doilleir, an Irish and also Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and gloomy, or from numerous words in Pictish: 'Dol' (area) + 'Ar' (cultivable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). One more derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh area' (cf Welsh dôl 'meadow'. This word was borrowed from British or Pictish into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in acquires it as 'Location of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water field' and ar 'location'. An additional concept, connected to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it originates from Scots-French "Doleur", meaning unhappiness.
