Dollar Academy is a 5–18 private co-educational day and boarding school in Scotland. The open campus occupies a 70-acre (28-hectare) site in the centre of Dollar, Clackmannanshire, at the foot of the Ochil Hills. The school was founded in 1818 by Captain John McNab, and Scottish architect William Henry Playfair was responsible for the design of the school building.
