It seems even the BBC (known in Scotland as the "EBC" or English Broadcasting Corporation) were unaware that the Chinese had organised a pipe band to play at the opening, hence the lack of any comment. Scotland have not been allowed to be represented separately and have been prohibited from waving any national flags other than the "Butcher's apron". A sorry day indeed. The EBC tucked this piece away in the Scotland section of their website - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...al/7549580.stm . At least they got to play "Scotland the Brave" a few times.
