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 once a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is originated from Doilleir, an Irish and also Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and also bleak, or from different words in Pictish: 'Dol' (area) + '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 right into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in acquires it as 'Area of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' as well as ar 'area'. A more concept, linked to Castle Campbell's alternate name of Castle Gloom, is that it stems from Scots-French "Doleur", suggesting despair.
