Comyn's Road is an ancient roadway in Scotland, linking Blair Atholl in Perth and Kinross and Badenoch in the Highlands. It ran for 27 miles (43 km), although today it is only visible in the high ground between Dalnamein Forest and Gaick Forest.[1]

The road dates to the Mediaeval period, and was in use until the 17th century, when a shorted route was favoured.
