Wallace was born in Farnborough and attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and served in the Scots Guards from 1991 to 1998, serving in Northern Ireland and Central America. After leaving the army, he became a Conservative Member of the Scottish Parliament as a list MSP for North East Scotland before standing down in 2003.
