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 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 acceptation dark and dismal, or from various words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). One more derivation is from Dolar, 'haugh area' (cf Welsh dôl 'meadow'. This word was obtained from British or Pictish into Scottish Gaelic as dail 'water-meadow, haugh'). John Everett-Heath, in derives it as 'Area of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' and also ar 'area'. A more theory, connected to Castle Campbell's different name of Castle Gloom, is that it originates from Scots-French "Doleur", indicating sadness.
