    I used to have that very same carpet -black watch tartan! My sister has a tartan carpet in her hall, different one though. My aunt says it reminds her of a hotel reception area. :D

    I saw an off cut in a carpet shop of this tartan down south - nearly bought it to remind me of my time in Scotland :)

    Just looked again you are right; it's the lovely blue lighting that is confusing people.
