I believe the answer is:

granada

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spain' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'some scallywag ran a dairy somewhere' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'GRANADA' is hidden in the letters of 'scallywag ran a dairy somewhere'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
