To the south of the village is a military camp at nearby Cultybraggan.
During World War II, this was POW Camp 21 for Italian and later German prisoners of war.
This was a "black" camp as most of its inmates were ardent Nazis.
It became infamous after anti-Nazi German POW Wolfgang Rosterg was lynched there by fellow inmates, who were hanged after the war for the act.
Many more difficult Nazis were moved to POW Camp 165 at Watten in Caithness.

The camp grounds have a two-storey nuclear bunker (Cultybraggan RGHQ), the proposed site for a provincial Scottish government in case of nuclear attack.
Even in the 1990s the bunker had accommodation, a telephone exchange, a sewage plant and a BBC studio.
In 2007 a local community trust bought the camp and the surrounding 90 acres (36 hectares) of land, under Land Reform legislation, for the sum of £350,000.

In December 2016 Heinrich Steinmeyer, a former Waffen-SS prisoner of the camp until 1948, left Comrie £384,000 in his will, as an expression of "my gratitude to the people of Scotland for the kindness and generosity that I have experienced in Scotland during my imprisonment of war and hereafter."
A local trust manages the legacy.
