Sightseeing and Eating Out

Dollar is a destination itself, as well as a central location to much of what Scotland has to offer. Many major attractions are less than an hour away. (See video Destination Dollar: https://dollarcdt.com/destination-dollar-film/ ) We enjoy exploring the local area by walking and biking on quiet farm roads, dirt tracks and that countless foot paths that lead us to new surprises every time we explore. There is biking and hiking for all ages and abilities For more detailed walking, hiking and biking routes, check out: Komoot, All Trails, OS Maps, Walkingworld and more.

Access the glen from Blinkbonny. The footpath is diagonally across the road from the sunset deck. It is a really nice walk! https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/dollar-glen A little note about hillwalking should you decide to hike up to Bank Hill and King's seat summits. Be prepared.

An independent local museum dedicated to the history & heritage of the village of Dollar in the county of Clackmannanshire, Scotland. There is a working model of the Devon Valley Railway Dollar Station which is fun to see working. The actual railway line has been paved over for walkers and cyclists. It is called the Devonway.

Devonway is flat, peaceful walking and biking path that starts in Dollar at the End of Lover's Loan, but I like to follow the burn down hill past the primary school and medical center where this photo was taken. That is the best place to start! https://www.alltrails.com/trail/scotland/clackmannanshire/the-devon-way-from-dollar-to-alloa?u=i https://www.visitscotland.com/see-do/active/cycling/national-routes/
