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 a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Possible interpretations are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and also dismal, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (cultivatable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). One more derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh location' (cf Welsh dôl 'field'. This word was obtained from British or Pictish into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in obtains it as 'Location of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water field' and ar 'location'. A more theory, connected to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it originates from Scots-French "Doleur", suggesting unhappiness.
