Bunchrew (Scottish Gaelic: Bun Craobh, meaning "Near to the Tree") is a small village in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is around 3 miles (5 km) west of Inverness, close to the south shore of the Beauly Firth on the A862. The village has a small caravan park and camping site.In the past Bunchrew also had a small railway station as part of Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, opening in 1862. However, the station closed to passengers in 1960 and goods in 1964. In the late-19th century, Bunchrew had a large bone manure works close to its railway station. This was the subject of numerous investigations, due to the toxic fumes the factory emitted.
