Tour Scotland travel video of an Autumn road drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, East on the A91 road to visit Dollar on ancestry visit to Clackmannanshire. Dollar, Scottish Gaelic: Dolair, was once a place of residence of Mary, Queen of Scots. Dollar is twinned with the French town of La Ville aux Dames, which lies just outside Tours in the Loire Valley. The poet Robert Burns visited Craufurd Tait in Dollar in 1787, staying on the Harviestoun estate. There he was inspired to write the song The Banks of Devon. Dollar Academy was founded in 1818 by John McNabb.
