Not a clue as I know nothing about those walks.
Suitability is more down to the dog than the walk, and that is not even taking breed into account.

The last two should be OK - Ive taken dogs on both.
I don't know Rockcliff to Kippford - it sounds like a coastal walk, and if it is, I would have thought it should be OK, except that there might be cattle.
If it were me, I'd risk it.

Rockcliffe - Kippford you should be fine. If you were to continue round the coast to Sandyhills you'd be walking above cliffs and at one point through the middle of a field of cows.
The Grey Mares Tail has sheep and feral goats about and is also very steep on one side so you might want to use a lead.
