14:06 GMT: Stun grenades explode and smoke covers the street near the entrance to the Ukrainian president’s administration building in Kiev. Reports say tear gas has been used. The sounds of bagpipes could be heard amid loud chanting of protesters demanding President Yanukovich’s resignation.

I couldn't hear the pipes and it makes me wonder... Were they playing "The Campbells Are Coming"? If so then they should be worried.

Bagpipes? I wonder if their is a similar instrument native to Ukraine.
