Who Are the Monsters of Beowulf?
The Epic of Beowulf Beowulf is an Old English epic poem written by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet in England sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries. It tells the story of the Geat hero Beowulf who aids the king of Danes Hrothgar in exterminating Grendel, a monster plaguing the great hall Heorot. Beowulf slays Grendel by ripping off his arm. When Grendel's mother finds out that her son was slain she kills Hrothgar’s closest advisor as revenge. In response, Beowulf travels to her lair and slays her, bringing back Grendel’s head as a trophy. Beowulf is rewarded greatly for his efforts and returns home to Gautland, eventually becoming its king.

Letter From America - The Heartbreaking Backstory
When I was younger (or wee, as I would say, as a Scot), I always loved the song Letter From America by The Proclaimers, taken from their debut album, This is the Story, in 1987. It sounded like a poignant song about someone who had emigrated from Scotland to Canada. To the casual listener, I guess that’s a fair estimation. It speaks about missing Scotland when you’re away from it (something we Scots have a habit of doing – listen to Dougie MacLean’s Caledonia for further evidence).
