I wasn't actually angry or offended about the lack of pipes, just feeling the lack.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were offended. But surely if you noticed the pipes missing, lots of people are noticing their own cultural symbols missing. And they will be offended.

I'm not sure why the fiddle would have been included, though. Maybe they figured the fiddle is more of a 'universal' instrument that could represent generic European culture, while the bagpipes are pretty much recognized as a Scottish symbol? I'm just guessing.
