We now live in Ayrshire,

Which part? Some parts of Ayrshire are very mild, others can be a little
harsh.

I used to live in Ayrshire myself, up the Irvine valley which was quite mild.

Ha! We also live in the Irvine valley, just East of Kilmarnock.
Weather does seem reasonably mild, except for the seemingly continuous
rain from mid-october 'til March....

I have a south facing, pebbledash wall about 14 ft long that I could
put vine wires on to train the toms etc, will they be ok? and what
else might grow well beside them?

Tomatos should grow, but wait until the start of june to avoid the last frost.
As for what else, well, what else were you thinking?

Cucumbers? The variety I've germinated (can't remember the name right
now) said OK for a cool greenhouse, so I'd hoped they too might grow
outside. I expect the chillies, melons etc will need to stay in the
greenhouse primarily for the heat.

Thanks for the reply
