My Grandmother talked about brogues with tongues. She always thought they looked smart with a kilt. My Great Aunt once mentioned that some men would even affix a silver buckle to the flap. I've never seen, nor has anyone confirmed it but my Great Aunt would be 120 if she was still alive, so she goes back a bit. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that it was done in the Highlands 100 years ago, but I doubt it was wide spread.
edit*(I do know that some pipers wear them but I have never seen anyone else do it, although i think it looks quite smart)
