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.

I have never seen it growing that large, but Clapham, Tutin and
Warberg says that it gets to 15 metres. My guess is that it needs
specific conditions to grow large - and that they are NOT deep,
rich soil!
