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 when an address of Mary, Queen of Scots. Possible analyses are that Dollar is derived from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and dismal, or from numerous words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). An additional derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh place' (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' as well as ar 'location'. A more theory, connected to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it comes from Scots-French "Doleur", meaning sadness.
