This book, by one of our Trustees, Bruce Baillie, a past archivist at Dollar Academy, was published by Dollar Museum in December 1998. It contains a wealth of information about Dollar from the Ice Age to the present time. It describes the Battle of Dollar, how Castle Gloum became Castle Campbell, and how Dollar grew and changed over the centuries. The story of Dollar Academy is told, from the McNabb Bequest to the Fire and after. The coming of the railway, the development of the New Town, Dollar churches, ministers, shops, schools, teachers, provosts, local myths and legends, mansion houses, land ownership, mills, bleachworks, bowling clubs, golf clubs and many other topics are covered with a wealth of maps and photographs. This book is currently out of print.
Items available at the Museum include books of local interest, notelets, postcards, etc., a 'Dollar Views' teatowel (£3.50) designed by Jennifer Campbell illustrator and artist.
