I don't think any of us can really say how he would have described himself though. |
Well the Scots Gaelic for Dumbarton, his capital, translates as Fort of the Britons, and I believe that predates the 18th/19th century.
I can't say I am knowledgable about his life, but he did travel to Wales, Kernow etc - to suggest he was not familiar with his British Celtic status seems silly - particularly as Welsh sources of the time acknowledge the people of Strathclyde as their kin.

Wallace comes from the English name for the Celts, Welas, meaning - foreigner, William was descended from Brythonic kin.

You said Kernow rather than Cornwall ! 
I hope others on this board will follow your example, but we should also use Cymru instead of Wales.  |
