How about Mountain Ash (Rowan ). Saw some growing on Hoy.
Of course, a windbreak may prove beneficial in getting them started.
Just guesswork on my part I hasten to add.

Could anyone please recommend species of trees which could reach a
height of about 7 meters and which would grow fairly rapidly, in the
Islands of the west of Scotland.The main problem is obviously the wind
which can be strong for days on end in the winter.
Can anything survive this,(I mean trees grow in Siberia).
