Welsh names were still commonly recorded in southern Scotland during the 12th century (Edit:actually, probably longer, I just don't have any other examples lying around).

The last time that the charters of the kings of Scotland specifically mentioned the Welsh of the kingdom was in the 12th century (edit: it was during the reign of William the Lion so may have been in the early 13th century).

The veneration of Welsh saints continued on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border for a long time (Edit:I'm guessing until the reformation).

I reckon William Wallace probably had a fair idea of his heritage.


Edit: P.S. I just mentioned Paul Dianno to wind up the hardcore Bruce-ites.
Sorry, I miscounted the centuries... only 1 off, though... He may have known his heritage, but was still Scottish
