    I find it offensive that they would dare to market it in this country, and use the Balmoral name.

    it does say "Clan Balmoral" so maybe that is a traditional pattern from the Acrylic Clans of the highlands of Pakistan where sheep fear to tread?

    I seriously doubt that the Pakistani weavers use, or are aware of, the distinctive thread used to weave Balmoral tartan https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=182
