[situation] In the County of Clackmannan
The parish of Dollar is in the Presbytery of Stirling, Synod of Perth and Stirling. It contains about 4795 Statute Acres by admeasurement from the Ordnance Plans and is bounded on the north by Glendevon Parish; on the east by the parishes of Muckart and Fossoway; on the South by Clackmannan parish; and on the West by the parish of Tillicoultry.
The land in this parish has, for some years past, been greatly improved by liming and draining. The common duration of leases is fifteen or nineteen years - too short a period certainly for tenants venturing to lay out money in the improvement of the soil. The chief obstacle to improvement in the parish is the unfortunate circumstance, that by far the greater part of the property has, for many years been under trust, or in the market for Sale. The chief mines are Coal which are worked to a great extent in this parish, and supply Strathearn and its neighbourhood with Coals, which are not found anywhere to the north of

Dollar. copper mines attempted to be worked into the Ochil Hills in the parish, but did not succeed. Macnab's School or Dollar Institution is situated is situated in the East of Dollar Village. It was founded and endowed by John Macnab a native of this parish, born of poor parents, he travelled and settled in London where he amassed a considerable fortune and in 1802 bequeathed for behoof of the Dollar School £55110.9.2 vested in three per cents, and this sum was paid into Chancery by his executors. It is a beautiful building and the grounds around it is most tastefully laid out. It affords an excellent course of education to many children from a distance, who are taken in as boarders, besides the Children of the parish.
The parish church is very convenient for the great body of the population, who reside chiefly in the old and new villages of Dollar, which are in the immediate neighbourhood of the Church which accommodates above 600. The Manse was built in 1795. It was repaired and a considerable addition made to it in 1817, and new offices were built in 1820. The glebe consists of four acres of good land. The Stipend is in general below 150 pounds. The augmentation from the Exchequer amounts to £23.6.8. The nearest market town is Alloa, about seven miles distant from Dollar.
There are no detached portions of this parish nor are there any detached portions of any other parish situated within it.
Two tumuli are mentioned in the Statistical Account as being in the parish, but no trace of them can now be found and the inhabitants even believe that they never existed. |

A Range of mountains commencing in the Parishes of Dunblane and Logie, in the South of Perthshire about two miles from the River Forth in the vicinity of Stirling and extending in an east-north-east direction to the frith of Tay. Its length is 24 miles or so, and its average breadth about twelve. Two of the summits overlooking the Forth are Bencleugh, or the Hill of Alva, the loftiest of this Range - and Demyat-Hill, in the parish of Logie - advancing a little from the contiguous range, breaking almost sheer down in stupendous rocky cliffs into the plain, and commanding a fine prospect over the basin of the Forth. Most of the Range is of a beautiful Green and affords excellent sheep-pasturage. The main range is unusually rich in its minerals & coal is found in abundance at its base. |

The ruins of Castle Gloom or Castle Campbell is the principal antiquity in the parish. In the year 1489 by Act of Scottish Parliament, the name of Castle Gloom was changed to Castle Campbell, by which name it is now generally known. It is not known when or by whom it was first built. The thickness of the walls plainly show that it was intended for a place of security in those times when Scottish barons were continually at war with one another. It seems that large additions have been made to the original structure. The latest built is obviously the southern part, which is now in a state of perfect ruin; but the Keep, which appears to be the oldest part of the edifice, is still comparatively in a good state of preservation. The outlines of the hall with its lofty ceiling, and other rooms of the same magnitude are still easily traced, with the narrow openings of windows in walls of enormous thickness, which must have given the rooms an air of magnificence and of gloomy grandeur to their inmates, as well as

CASTLE CAMPBELL (In Ruins) continued |
|

[continued from page 5]
a feeling of great security. The steps of the spiral staircase, which leads to the top, are a good deal wasted by time and weather; but they still afford a safe ascent, though steep and fatigueing. The roof of the tower, or keep, is a square, or rather oblong, of considerable dimensions, covered with turf, where many a fete champetre has been of late years held, and where dancing parties have amused themselves in the moonlight. From the top of the keep, the view to the south is extremely beautiful, including the hills of Linlithgow and Stirlingshire, and Tinto, in Lanarkshire, in the distance, with the quiet village of Dollar immediately below, and its tiny stream, like a silver thread winding its way to the Devon. The view of the wooded banks on both sides of the castle, is picturesque in the highest degree. There appears to have been large vaults under the south part of the castle for stables, cellars, and other purposes.The Castle now appears perched on the top of a lofty Knoll, or conical hill, embosomed in the surrounding mountains. Several attempts have been made to reach it, by tracing the bed of the stream upwards, but they have all proved unsuccessful. After great fatigue and risk, some have forced their way upwards to the place where the two streams, that surround the castle, make a junction; but beyond this, the overhanging rocks in the bed of the stream, and which nearly meet at the top, form an insuperable barrier. But though the castle is inaccessible by the bottom of the ravine, it may be approached on foot, both on the east and west side of the wooded hollow. The area around the castle is so narrow and confined, that it is impossible to quit its walls, but for a few yards, without the risk of being hurled into the depths below. On the east side the steep acclivity terminates close to the bottom of the walls, and renders it impracticable to get round the ruins on that side. On the south side, there is a beautiful green area of considerable extent, which slopes gradually from the bottom of the ruin to the edge of the precipice in front of the castle. Near the south western extremity of this area, is seen the entrance to Kemp's Score, a frightful chasm in the rock. Immediately adjoining this chasm, we find the remains of an old outwork, now in ruins; passing this outwork, and advancing a few steps towards the brink of the precipice, we find a concealed half formed footpath, which leads to a projection about 12 feet above the bed of the torrent, which is here seen forcing its way beneath shelving rocks, which now and then conceal it from the view of the spectator. This is certainly the most romantic part of the scenery of the Castle, and will amply repay the labour of those who have sufficient nereves, to undertake the descent, as one false step would infalliably precipitate the traveller into the Abyss below.
There can be no doubt that the family of Argyle frequently resided here, and made this almost inaccessible castle their favourite residence, till it was burnt by Montrose in 1644. Not content with wreaking their vengeance on the proud castle of their feudal enemy, they burnt at the same time every house in Dollar and Muckhart; the inhabitants of both parishes being vassals of the Duke of Argyle. It is said two houses, the one in Dollar the other in Muckhart, escaped the vengeance of the savage clans, through a mistake on on their part. The one in Dollar they imagined belonged to the Abbey of Dunfermline; and the other being situated on the borders of Fossaway parish, they supposed to belong to that parish, and not to Muckhart.

A remarkable fissure in the cliff in the south side of the eminence on which stand the ruins of Castle Campbell. The rock is about eighty feet in height, and the cut or fissure extends from top to bottom, sloping at an angle of about 70º and about six feet wide, each side being perpendicular. Whether it is natural or artificial is not known, but from its regularity the latter is the likeliest.
"There is a remarkable fissure in the front of Castle Campbell called Kemp's Score or Cut. Whether it is a natural or artificial opening is not well ascertained. The general opinion is, that it was a passage cut out of the rock to carry water in the event of a siege, from the rivulet below, but it is more probably the work of some natural convulsion, though it may have been improved by artificial means. It is said there were steps cut in the rock, forming the bottom of the fissure, all the way down to the rivulet. But it is difficult to ascertain the truth of this statement, as it is now completely covered with loose earth several feet in thickness."

A village situated in a parish of the same name on the Turnpike road from Stirling to Kinross & about 12 miles from the former. The south end of the village is of modern date only having got its being since the erection of the Dollar Institution in the beginning of the Century. The few streets of this portion of the town are uniform & regular while those of the old portion of the Village may be said to be the reverse. It is the fashion in the village to speak of this as the old town & that as the new town while each is described in the Sta. acct. [Statistical account] as Old Dollar & New Dollar respectively. These terms however are never used nor heard except by the villagers at home, never abroad nor by the people in the surrounding district, both portions have the same designation everywhere. The N. [North] or old portion of the village has a picturesque appearance situated on an elevated piece of ground at the base of the Ochils while the S. [South] portion of the town lies more upon the margin of the vale of Devon |

This river takes it rise among the hills in the parish of Blackford. It flows almost due east from its source, till it reaches the parish of Glendevon. After this it's course is more to the south, and at the village which has the appropriate name of Crook of Devon, it takes a sudden turn to the West, flows between the parishes of Fossaway and Muckart, and then enters Dollar which it crosses having here a very agreeable appearance, and is well entitled to the epithets of "Silver Devon", "Winding Devon which Burns bestowed upon it. It then passes through the parishes of Tillicoultry and Alva and at last reaches the Cambus in the parish of Alloa where it joins the Forth |
