The Glencairn rising of 1653-54 was the last Royalist uprising in Scotland under the Interregnum. Highland clans — particularly MacDonalds and Camerons — rallied to the Royalist standard. General Monck used mobile columns to hunt down the dispersed Highland force. The Loch Garry skirmish was one of several encounters as Monck systematically suppressed the rising through 1654. The defeat ended active Royalist resistance in Scotland until the Restoration.
