Yes, I started to look around on eBay - whilst I was there, I thought, I'd just see what else was on offer and it was described as Black watch plus the stripes, but the sett is rather smaller than the BW and having got a good look at it in daylight this morning, whilst the background is the blackwatch colours the pattern repeat is that of the Semple tartan.

Ah well - if I cut it into pieces I can make subtly different tartans from it with judicious overdyeing, turquiose, true blue - maybe even pink.

Not a disaster really - just an opportunity to be creative.

I could even double the size of the sett by using fabric paints and colouring the stripes differently.

It wasn't all that expensive, which really makes it all the more surprising that it is a recognisable tartan.
