Property in Dollar

Dollar is the most easterly of a line of four settlements strung along the foot of the southern edge of the Ochil Hills in Clackmannanshire.

Dollar is on the A91 road, running from Stirling to St. Andrews and the town is around 3 miles east of Tillicoultry. The parish of Muckhart extends right up to the eastern edge of Dollar, despite Muckhart's much smaller size. This encompassed Dollar Mine and Pitgober.

The town is now largely a dormitory community for people who work in Stirling and further afield — e.g. Glasgow and Edinburgh. Because of the success of its fee-paying school Dollar Academy and its tranquil environment, the town draws young and reasonably well-off families, giving it a slightly different character from the other Hillfoots Villages.

Dollar is twinned with the French town of La Ville Aux Dames, which lies just outside Tours in the Loire Valley.

For more information about the area, see the Dollar Community website.
