If you're speaking of the Glenfinnan, it's a nice looking shoe, no question. But it's not really a buckle brogue or even a buckle shoe. It's a loafer with a rather useless ornamental buckle.

The Culloden is the only real buckle shoe at that site.

Technically, a brogue is a shoe that is "brogued," ie., it has edges and seams that have tiny, and not so tiny, holes punched along the edge. A brogue can be an oxford (vamp over) or a derby (vamp under) style.

The Ghillie brogue is a third and unique style but closely resembles a full cut oxford...at least in terms of construction.

The buckle brogue that Duke of Kircaldy linked to a in a previous post, is essentially a glorified Mary Jane (typically a woman's shoe). And the big buckle is ornamental there, as well.
