Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a small 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. Possible interpretations are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic acceptation dark and bleak, or from numerous words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (cultivatable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). An additional derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh location' (cf Welsh dôl 'field'. This word was obtained 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 meadow' as well as ar 'place'. An additional concept, connected to Castle Campbell's alternative name of Castle Gloom, is that it comes from Scots-French "Doleur", meaning despair.
