Dally Castle (remains of) Dally, although never a 'proper' castle, has become woven into local legends and folklore. The ruins you see today are the remains of what was originally the home of David Lindsey, a Scottish nobleman. Around 700 years ago Lindsey chose this isolated spot to build himself a hall-house. A hall-house was a defensible building - the earliest type of mediaeval stronghold (apart from the great castles) to survive in Northumberland.
