Dollar (population 2,877) is a village with a population of 2,800 people in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was when a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible analyses are that Dollar is derived from Doilleir, an Irish and also Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and gloomy, or from different words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (cultivatable) 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 'Place of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water field' as well as ar 'area'. A further theory, linked to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", implying despair.
