Altnafeadh-Kinghouse is a military road in Argyllshire, Scotland, constructed during the eighteenth century as part of the network of routes developed to improve military communication and troop movement through the Highlands. The road forms part of the broader system of military roads built in Scotland following the 1745 rebellion, designed to facilitate government control and suppress further uprisings in the region. The route connects Altnafeadh with Kinghouse, traversing challenging terrain characteristic of the Argyll landscape. Surviving stretches of the road retain evidence of its engineered construction and remain significant as physical testimony to the military infrastructure projects undertaken in this period.
