Eight years after the Glenfruin massacre and the MacGregor proscription, organised armed resistance by MacGregor bands was still occurring in Perthshire. A MacGregor band in 1611 — led by a son of the executed Alasdair MacGregor — conducted raids through Breadalbane and briefly held the high ground around Loch Tay against government pursuit forces. The 1611 operations represent the last coherent armed MacGregor resistance before the clan fragmented entirely into isolated outlaw bands. The 1611 Privy Council renewal of the proscription with enhanced penalties was a direct response to this continued resistance.
