Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking in the rain in Dollar Glen on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Clackmannanshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Dollar's early story is closely linked to that of Castle Campbell, which lies above the town at the head of Dollar Glen, protected by the deep ravines of the rivers called Burn of Care on one side and the Burn of Sorrow on the other. Originally known as Castle Gloom, the castle became the main lowland seat of the Dukes of Argyll from the late 1400s until 1654. Lead and copper mines opened up in Dollar Glen, and in 1736 a colliery began operations between Dollar and the River Devon to the south. Later in the 1700s ironstone was also extracted from Dollar Glen, and for a while an ironworks was established in the town. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March
