In view of the fact that Catherine and Elizabeth were baptised at Canonbie, I would say this is James's birth.

For info - nothing more than Scotland for Place of birth

Have you followed him back to see if any census does give pob - it happens sometimes!

Or even the children that were born in Scotland - it may be they were living in his home area at the time they were born

Scottish naming pattern if they followed it may offer some clues
