The '''Bught''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ʌ|x|t}} {{respell|BUKHT|'}}; {{langx|gd|Am Bucht}}) is an area of the [Scottish](/source/Scotland) city of [Inverness](/source/Inverness).<ref name=OS26>{{cite map|title=Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 26 ''Inverness & Loch Ness (Strathglass)''|ISBN=9780319231128|publisher=Ordnance Survey|date=2011}}</ref> A "bught" is defined in the Dictionary of the Scots Language as follows "Bowcht, Bucht, n. Also: boucht; bowght, bought. [Flem. bocht, bucht, inclosure for swine, sheep, etc.] A sheep-fold; a milking fold for ewes."

It is situated between the [River Ness](/source/River_Ness) and the [Caledonian Canal](/source/Caledonian_Canal) in the west of the city. It is a recreational area and contains the sports ground [Bught Park](/source/Bught_Park), [Inverness Sports Centre & Aquadome](/source/Inverness_Sports_Centre_%26_Aquadome), [Inverness Ice Rink](/source/Inverness_Ice_Rink), [Whin Park](/source/Whin_Park) and the [Ness Islands](/source/Ness_Islands). There is also a caravan park and extensive playing fields in the area.

The sports fields are used as the home grounds for Inverness Blitz [American football](/source/American_football) home games.

Due to the recreational nature of the area, there is very little housing and most people live in the nearby areas of [Dalneigh](/source/Dalneigh) and [Ballifeary](/source/Ballifeary).
