I do not know Scotland but some facts that might help you to decide:

Greenhouses are easier to kep cool in summer than polytunnels.
Greenhouses are warmer in winter than the outside (not by much always)
Polytunnels are colder in winter than the outside (not by much always)
You cannot break the glass in a polytunnel.
If the polythene goes, you have to replace the lot, not just one pane.
