Thanks both - it appears I may be searching for something that doesn't exist. Making my own is an option although I'm not sure I could find a regular brogue that had the elements of a ghillie I like without the bits I don't like ... not that I'm fussy mind

Don't get me wrong, the Thistle ghillies I have are top quality, very soft leather, well made soles etc - they're just a bit 'clumpy' compared to my normal style
