As well as Castle Campbell which is but a pleasant walk away for the reasonably
fit, there are many places of historic interest within easy reach.
- Stirling
has arguably the finest castle in Scotland. There are, however, many other interesting places to visit in and around Stirling.
- The National Wallace Monument
is at Causewayhead, near Stirling and is well worth a visit. Braveheart fans will
be in their element.
- The Bannockburn Heritage
Centre is
at Bannockburn, near Stirling.
- Nearby Culross is the quickest way back to the 16th century in Scotland.
- Cambuskenneth Abbey lies in a loop of the river Forth just a stone's throw across the river from Stirling, but nearer 4 miles by road. King James iii is buried here along with his wife.
- Dunfermline Abbey is the burial place of a number of other kings: Malcolm III, Edgar, Alexander I, David I, Malcolm IV, Alexander III and, best known of all, Robert I aka Robert the Bruce
- Undiscovered Scotland is one of the best sites for planning days out or longer trips in Scotland.
- Historic
Scotland has a (fairly clunky) search engine which lists many nearby ancient monuments.
- Dollar Museum has exhibitions covering Dollar from prehistoric times to the present day. The reading room has a large collection of research materials.
There is a brief but extensive history of Dollar on the Dollar Community Website.
This Google map shows a few of the local historic sites.
