Red Fife is a heritage variety of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) that David Fife and family began to grow in 1842 In Peterborough Ontario. Legend goes that a friend of Mr. Fife collected a sample of seed from a ship in the Glasgow port. There is no way to prove the origin of the seed that became Red Fife when it came to Canada.

It might have originated in Turkey, then moved across the Black Sea to the Ukraine where the Mennonite farmers grew it from the late 1700s to mid 1800s when it was shipped to Glasgow, where a friend of David Fife's found it, sent a sample of seed to Fife in Ontario. But it's impossible to prove because the wheat genetics change season to season as the genetics interact with the soil and environment, creating the 'terroir' of the variety for that year and from that field.

Mr. Fife grew out the seed, shared the seed with other farmers and called the wheat 'Red Fife' because the kernals were red and his name was Fife.

Red Fife wheat is a 'living artifact' that is part of Canada's living history, cultural and agricultural heritage. Red Fife seed arrived in Canada when Canadian lands were being opened for producing wheat. Red Fife seed adapted to a great diversity of growing conditions across Canada. It was the baking and milling industry standard for 40 years from 1860-1900. Plant breeders continue to use the genetics of Red Fife to make new varieties of bread wheat.

Fife ([ˈfəif]; Scottish Gaelic: Fìobha) is a council area and former county of Scotland. It is situated between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, with inland boundaries to Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire. It was once one of the major Pictish kingdoms, known as Fib, and is still commonly known as the Kingdom of Fife within Scotland.

It is a lieutenancy area, and was a county of Scotland until 1975. It was very occasionally known by the anglicisation Fifeshire in old documents and maps compiled by English cartographers and authors. A person from Fife is known as a Fifer.

Fife was a local government region divided into three districts: Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and North-East Fife. Since 1996 the functions of the district councils have been exercised by the unitary Fife Council.

Fife is Scotland's third largest local authority area by population. It has a resident population of just under 360,000, almost a third of whom live in the three principal towns of Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. Kirkcaldy is Fife's largest town by population (48,108 in 2006), followed by Dunfermline (45,462 in 2006) and then Glenrothes (38,927 in 2006).
