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. Feasible interpretations are that Dollar is stemmed from Doilleir, an Irish and also Scots Gaelic word meaning dark and also bleak, or from different words in Pictish: 'Dol' (field) + 'Ar' (arable) or Dol (valley) + Ar (high). An additional 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 derives it as 'Place of the Water Meadow' from the Celtic dôl 'water meadow' as well as ar 'area'. A more theory, linked to Castle Campbell's alternative name of Castle Gloom, is that it originates from Scots-French "Doleur", implying sadness.
