I still don't understand what the headstone inscription could mean though.
It became illegal to use the name MacGregor. By putting his own name on his headstone, he was defying the king's orders. He is saying
in death "You can do all manner of ill to me and my family, but MacGregor is still my name despite all effort to the contrary.".
