Old Photograph Robert Waddell Family Butcher Dollar Scotland

Old photograph of the Robert Waddell family butcher horse drawn carriage in Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Dollar is one of the Hillfoots Villages, situated between the Ochil Hills range to the north and the River Devon to the south. Dollar is on the A91 road, which runs from Stirling to St Andrews, Fife. 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 Waddell surname is of early medieval Scottish origin, and is a locational name from Wedale, the old name of the parish of Stow in Midlothian. Early examples of the surname include: Stephen de Wedale, who witnessed a charter of the lands of Swaynystoun to the Hospital of Soltre, circa 1221, and Symone de Wedale, abbot of Holyrood, Edinburgh, born 1296, died 1327, who, as Symon de Wedehale, was consecrated bishop of Galloway in 1327. Other early forms include: Vedayle; Waldale, Wedalle and Wadel. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Adam de Wedale, " an outlaw of the King of Scotland", which was dated 1204. "
