its called "Hollywood nonsense".
Blue body painting was worn by the ancient scots... more than 1000 years before Wallace was born.
However, it is commonly called woad, an indigo-blue dye made from the leaves of woad plants (Isatis tinctoria).
It should be noted that woad dye does not work very well as a paint, and it is uncertain exactly what material the Roman accounts of the Pictii (literally meaning "painted") were referring to, when it came to their blue paint - or even if it was paint - it could have been a form of tatooing.
