Default Shrubs for Windy area

Looking for advice about best shrubs for a south west facing slope. The
garden in very exposed - (live high up on a hill - Scotland) there is
very little shelter. Additionally the soil is quite shallow and is just
rock underneath.
The garden has nothing in it just now bar lawn and a sorry beech hedge.
Sheep in fields round house so can't have anything poisonous (laurel,
rhodi, etc) Ideas much appreciated. Thanks

Scotland, exposed, south-west facing slope, little depth of soil . . .
how about a range of glorious heathers?
