We both believe Dollar is a fantastic place to stay whether you're here for a day or a fortnight. Here, in no particular order, are a few of our favourite things to do. If you'd like more information then the lounge bar is the place to head! Dollar itself is a thriving community, see what's happening at www.dollarcommunity.org.uk. Both the castle itself and the Academy are Grade A listed buildings and are architecturally stunning. The walk up through the glen to the Castle is wonderful whatever the weather and just past the Castle you'll find yourself in uninterrupted wilderness. There are plenty of walks and we have copies of a guide from the Dollar Civic Trust available for just £3.00. At weekends the Dollar Museum is open. Run by volunteers it's a fascinating place to discover the local area. For more information about the museum see uk.geocities.com/curator.dollarmuseum@btopenworld.com. Clackmannanshire is Scotland's smallest county and may not have the fame that some enjoy but there is plenty to do. There are several interesting Towers - the one at Alloa being the finest - and Gartmorn Dam is great if you want a stroll on the flat in lovely surroundings. Tourist Information is in Alva at the Mill Trail Centre. In Tillicoultry you'll find both Sterling Mills and Sterling Warehouse - good for shopping if you like Outlet Malls and Furnishing. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both within an hours drive. These world-class cities need no introduction. Even closer to home is Falkirk. There you'll find the Falkirk Wheel, opened by the Queen in 2000 and a real marvel; and Callander House which has a fantastic museum dedicated to local history. Given that Central Scotland was a driving force behind the industrial revolution, anyone with an interest in the past will find it fascinating. Stirling is our nearest 'Big Town' and over the centuries its location as the last crossing point over the Forth has meant it has been at the centre of many a battle. Bannockburn is well worth a visit, as is the Castle and the Wallace Monument. The latter give fantastic views so if the weather is kind, don't forget your camera. No trip to Scotland is complete without visiting some of the most beautiful countryside in Europe. You can head north to Perth (taking in Scone Palace if old houses are your bag) and up the A9 to Pitlochry. There are so many places of stop off and potter that we'll leave that to the guidebooks. For some good shopping and a great cup of coffee, head slightly north of Pitlochry to the House of Bruar in Bruar. Heading west you'll find Loch Lomond and the Trossachs which hardly need an introduction. Scotland's first National Park is well worth a visit. Heading east along the A91 you'll travel through Fife. The Palace in Falkland is packed with history or continue along the A91 until you reach St Andrews, the Home of Golf. With its golf courses, stunning beach and fascinating history there's plenty to do. However do wrap up warm - whatever the weather in Dollar its always several degrees cooler on the east coast. South of St Andrews are the East Neuk villages. With a Dutch influence on the architecture they make lovely places for a stroll. There are 11 Blue Flag beaches in Fife - so if the weather is balmy, take a dip. There is plenty of opportunity for sport in the area with over 30 golf courses within an hours drive, including world class St Andrews and Gleneagles. Whilst we're not golf experts, there's almost always someone in the bar we can introduce you to who is! Dollar Golf Course itself is a really interesting course - perched on the hillside there's no need for any bunkers (check out the golf club at www.dollargolfclub.com. )! At Gleneagles just 20 minutes away you'll find world class golfing and shooting and locally there is plenty of fishing and hunting if you're interested. At Knockhill, which is just over the border in Fife, there's motor-racing and other events throughout much of the year. Finally, don't do anything at speed. The whole essence of Scotland can only be savoured by pottering at a leisurely pace. There's plenty to do, so if you cant fit it all in now, come back soon! Castle Campbell, overlooking Dollar.
