The Field Inverness - Secure Dog Field

Your dog gets a proper run around at this secure field just outside Inverness, and honestly, if you're touring the Highlands with a canine companion, it's a genuine lifesaver. The whole point is straightforward - it's an enclosed space where your dog can burn off energy without the lead, which matters more than you'd think after hours in the car or a long walk where you need them under control.

The field itself is just that: a field with fencing. Not glamorous, but functional and well-maintained. You'll get a solid hour here with most dogs, watching them chase about while you grab a coffee or check your phone without guilt. Families with high-energy breeds will find it invaluable - Labs and Spaniels especially need this kind of outlet. Older dogs or lap dogs? They might be less impressed, but there's no harm in letting them potter about.

It's free to use, which is the way these things should be. No specific opening hours listed, so treat it as daylight-dependent and check the condition before you arrive - heavy rain turns most fields into mud baths. Allow 30 minutes to an hour depending on your dog's enthusiasm.

If you're based at Bunchrew Caravan Park or Go Glamping at Loch Ness, this is your go-to spot for a mid-morning break. Close enough to Inverness town centre not to waste half a day travelling. Not a destination in itself, but exactly what you need when you've got a dog and a holiday to manage.
