Some places worth a mention

The sugar cube cafe in Ayr served a very nice bowl of soup & piece of cake for a very reasonable price. The Stables in Lochgilphead had very friendly & cheerful staff for a busy day ( food was alright, but not to write home about). Just now we're in Designs cafe in Castle Douglas, which had a really nice mushroom & celeriac soup (sandwich ordinary sadly). Also we should mention the very lovely Quaich cafe in um Kilmasomething. Will look at map later. It's a lovely cafe, good coffee and lovely homemade cake. We weretoo early for scones.
