There were a number of churches in Dollar-
Dollar Parish Church, (Manse Road) Church of Scotland, built in 1842 as a result of the congregation being too large for the old Kirk (supposedly built by St. Columbus).

Dollar Parish Church, (Manse Road)
Church of Scotland, built in 1842 as a result of the congregation being too large for the old Kirk.

West Free Church (Bridge Street) built in 1858, merged with the Church of Scotland in 1975.

East Free Church (Burnside)
United Presbyterian Church built in 1872, congregation merged with that of the West Church circa 1910.

The Associated Synod of Original Seceders had a chapel in Chapel place (now two private houses).

The parish church has its own churchyard and it is possible Thomas Kirkaldie was buried there.

Hi Tom

I had a walk round Dollar graveyard this afternoon and while I didn't come across your Kirkcaldie I did find this one:

Erected
in Memory of Elizabeth Scott Kirkcaldie
the Dearly Beloved wife of
James C Young
Died 6th August 1910 aged 55 years
Also the above
James Cowan Young
Died 25th October 1932 Aged 78 years
Alexander Young
Beloved Son of Above
Killed in Action
22nd August 1918 Aged 34 Years

The oldest part of the graveyard is fenced off, and given the precarious state of some of the stones I wasn't going to risk trying to limbo under the fence.

Of course, I may have missed your Mr K.

The whole graveyard is in very good nick, and well taken care of.

Regards

Hannah

No cemeteries one churchyard (Church of Scotland).
The churchyard used to be the churchyard of the old Kirk remained in use when the new church was built in 1842.

Are there any transcribed records on-line of the burials at Dollar churchyard at all ? I should have a few ancestors there...............based on the above posts there is only the 1 churchyard where burials for Dollar from say 1890 to 1930 may have occurred ?
Connell's from Dollar 1890-1930, and Lismore Island 1750-1880
