Don’t Call Me Barney Fife, Its Racist

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- As a young child I lived in Scotland and was taught that nation’s history while attending a three-room schoolhouse in the small village of Innellan.

We learned of many famous warring tribes and clans of ancient Scotland. One of the families I learned about was the Fifes. They were descended from the warrior tribes that made up the Picts. My headmaster would tell us stories about these Picts who would go into battle naked to scare their enemy and then return victorious with the severed heads of those the Picts had killed in hand-to-hand combat.

The Pictish descended Fife family has lent its members to the cause of war, from battling Romans who occupied what became England in Jesus Christ’s lifetime, to the modern wars of the 21st century serving in the armies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The Fifes were a warrior class family with many of their members immigrating to the US.
