Comyn's Road
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Comyn's Road is an ancient roadway in Scotland, linking Blair Atholl in Perth and Kinross and Ruthven, Badenoch, in the Highlands. Named for Clan Cumming (Clan Comyn), it runs for 27 miles (43 km), although today it is only visible in the high ground between Dalnamein Forest and Gaick Forest.[1]
