Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a 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. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish and Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and also bleak, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (cultivable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). Another 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 'place'. An additional concept, linked to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", meaning sadness.
