Dollar Clackmannanshire

Dollar is a town in Scotland with a population of around 3,000, located near Stirling. The origin of its name is unclear but may derive from Gaelic or Pictish words. Historically significant, Dollar was the site of a battle in 874 where Amlaíb Conung, the first Norse king of Dublin, was killed. The town is home to Castle Campbell, a notable landmark where Mary, Queen of Scots, once stayed.

Dollar Academy, founded in 1818 with a bequest from Captain John McNabb, has educated several prominent figures, including James Dewar, inventor of the vacuum flask, and George Reid, former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament. The town has been home to notable individuals such as poet William Auld, who was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Lavinia Malcolm, Scotland's first female provost.

The town offers various sports facilities, including a 9-hole golf course, football club, tennis club, squash club, bowling club, and cricket club. The Ochil Hills provide opportunities for mountain biking. Dollar is also twinned with La Ville-aux-Dames in France.
