Didn't actually see them on TV, but they were live (on the radio yesterday afternoon, I heard they actually marched in just ahead of Yemen for some reason).

Anyway here is an article and a really small pic,

Thnaks, Adam for the info and link. So, the kilties were there! What an honor for them.

If the order in which the countries were marching seemed unusual, I heard on NPR that they would be marching in an order determined by the number of strokes in the Chinese character that represented the country's name. The commentator mentioned that this would be rather difficult for the folks used to the usual alphaabetical order that we are used to.

I was keeping an eye out for kilts as well but no dice.

Best
