Bught Park is a versatile outdoor venue featuring multiple pitches that host a wide range of sports—from shinty and football to athletics and American football. The Stadium Pitch Grandstand has recently undergone a major refurbishment, funded by the Levelling Up Fund, and now boasts 10 state-of-the-art changing rooms.
We’re proud to be known as the “Home of Shinty”, a heritage celebrated through the fascinating “Shinty’s Story” exhibition in the Pavilion. This exhibition is operated by the Camanachd Association, the sport’s governing body, which also has its office on-site.
Throughout the year, Bught Park is the setting for many major community events, including the Highland Games and the city’s Bonfire and Fireworks display. The venue is available for hire for a wide variety of activities and events—sporting fixtures, music performances, children’s activities, and much more.
Get in touch with us to discuss your ideas—we’d love to help bring them to life.
