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.

Well, I think that's why Susie specifically wanted advice from
people in
Scotland - she's aware of what you say, but wanted to know the
chances
of a polytunnel blowing away in Scotland's high winds.

There is an enormous polytunnel at Applecross which has, for many
years, done sterling service as a "protected alfresco" restaurant
attached to a camp site.
