he was born around 1270, probably near Ellerslie (now Elderslie), in Ayrshire.  There's quite a lot about him here 
Elderslie is in Renfrewshire not Ayrshire although there has been some dispute about his birthplace. Have a look at http://www.braveheart.co.uk/macbrave/history/wallace/eld er01.htm

From Stirling.gov

1272 - William Wallace born in Elderslie, near Paisley, second son of Sir Malcolm Wallace and his wife Margaret, daughter of Sir Reginald Crawford of Crosby, hereditary Sheriff of Ayr
