Adam was born near Kirkcaldy and was the father of the architects James, John and Robert Adam (1728-92). He worked on Floors Castle (1718) with architect Sir John Vanbrugh. William Adam's most impressive work is probably Hopetoun House. The Adam family also had a house in Edinburgh on what is now Chambers Street.

William Adam is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, in a mausoleum designed by his son, John.
