From page 107 of Transactions of the Glasgow Archaeological Society, Volume 1

"Sir William [Wallace] left no male heir. The story is well known of the murder of his young wife by Governor Hazelrig and of Wallace's bloody revenge. As the story goes, she was the heiress of Bradfute of Lamington, and left an only child, a little girl, who grew up and became wife of Sir William Baillie of Hoprig in East Lothian (said to have been "a squire of Balliol's blood") and both Lamington and Hoprig are in the possession now by unbroken inheritance of the reputed representative of this marriage, Lord Lamington, better known as Baillie Cochrane."

From page 433 of "Notes and Queries"

"... person mentioned by J. R. S. as buried at Canterbury, or William Balliol (or Baillie) of Hoprig and Penston in East Lothian, it may be difficult to say. The latter personage, who is said to have married a daughter of the patriot Wallace, was the ancestor of the Baillies of Lamington in Clydesdale, where they have flourished for five hundred years. He is conjectured by the continuator of Nisbet's Heraldry to have been the second son of Sir Alexander Balliol of Cavers, a collateral relative of the king of Scots. ..."
