Pipe band adds traditional touch

The kilts, the bagpipes and bright red tartan on display during the curling tournament at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games are made in Scotland, but the immaculately dressed musicians blasting out Scotland the Brave come from China.

The Beijing Military Pipe Band is honoring an ancient curling tradition by playing at the beginning of each session as a tribute to the Scots who invented the sport in the 16th century.

The six band members have never set foot in Scotland but that has not prevented them from impressing all those inside the National Aquatics Center, aka the Ice Cube.
