    Actually, something very similar to a lace up ankle boot (roper, but a touch lower on the leg) shows up in a surprising number of 19th and early 20th century photos of highlanders. There's a photo of an old boy, in the "Show us your Pic's" thread on old photos, wearing a natty pair of black ankle boots.

    I've been toying with idea of making a pair for myself.

    Yes, that's correct, at Culloden many would probably have been barefoot and the buckle shoe was the man's shoe most of the 18th century. I like them and maybe next time i will have a pair
