Hi OCR.
Probably not. Dalton in Furness is just shy of Barrow in Furness in the county of Cumbria. The Black Country is (generally regarded as) west of Birmingham in the Midlands. It's about 175 miles or so, which doesn't sound much by the American perception of distance but in Britain, it's the other side of the world. You're right though, it is a smashing tartan. I know Philip and I have seen it up close. It's even better than it looks in pictures believe me.
