pigsty

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

'farm outbuilding' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'shame to keep case of glenfarclas' is the wordplay.
'shame' becomes 'pity' (synonyms).
'to keep' indicates putting letters inside.
'case of' means to remove the middle letters (outsides of).
'glenfarclas' with its middle taken out is 'gs'.
'pity' going around 'gs' is 'PIGSTY'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pigsty that I've seen before include "messy situation" , "Dirty domicile" , "Very dirty abode" , "Porcine pen" , "Untidy place" .)
