Dollar
Dollar (population 2,877) is a village with a population of 2,800 individuals in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. It is 12 miles East of Stirling. Dollar was when a home of Mary, Queen of Scots. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is derived from Doilleir, an Irish as well as Scots Gaelic acceptation dark and gloomy, or from numerous words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). One more derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh place' (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 obtains it as 'Place of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' and ar 'place'. An additional theory, connected to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it comes from Scots-French "Doleur", suggesting sadness.
