Music in Dollar (formerly known as Dollar Music Society) has been promoting music and the arts around Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, since 1965.

We organise an annual series of concerts, featuring professional musicians and a wide range of musical styles. We also run community events such as singing and piano performance by young people. Other event like music excursions, one-off concerts and music competitions are organised from time to time.

For example, we put on a concert for children, which was a huge sell-out hit. Before most concerts we provide a platform for a student to perform. And our community events are always popular.

Dollar

Dollar is a pretty town nestling under the Ochil hills in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Population around 3000.

The name Dollar has nothing to do with money or silver! It is probably derived from the Pictish word dol, meaning field.

The town is dominated by two iconic buildings. Castle Campbell sits high above the town at the head of Dollar Glen. It was the lowland seat of the Duke of Argyll. In recent times Dollar has been closely associated with Dollar Academy, with its magnificent Greek influenced Playfair building.
