Default To polytunnel or not?

We are thinking about buying a 10x10 polytunnel for our new garden -
this is the largest we can fit into space available. It will be
situated on the southerly side of our home, and will get no shade at all
during the height of summer, but some shade in depths of winter.

The other option is, of course, a greenhouse, about 8x8 which we could
put up against the south facing wall of the house. This would get
exactly the same growing conditions, except that it would probably get
less shade in winter.

Both could be exposed to some of the gales that can blow in the valley
where we live. Here on the Isle of Arran we don't get too much snow and
the winter temperatures on the whole are fairly kind.

Is there anybody out there living in Scotland who has a polytunnel and
can give us any advice or information? Is there maybe a helpful website
or two? Perhaps there's a good local supplier/manufacturer we can talk
to? Thanks a lot
