The Tarptent Aeon does look beautiful but my problem with many of the US tent 'cottage' companies are that they are designed for a somewhat stable US continental weather system which seems to focus on protecting you from a bit of precip and maybe a light bug net, very few of them seem bomb proof. The import fees are also brutal, as I found out when I picked up a MLD Trailstar (which is perhaps the definition of a front entry 'tent'!)
As for pitching the Tatonka, I'd pitch it small end first - I did manage to stick up the Svalbard up on the top of a breezy hill for practice and it seems bomb proof due to the profile being quite small and aerodynamic in the wind if you pitch it at a tangent, although I've yet to do an overnighter on a windy top to see how the noise/experience is. The main annoyance is the lack of a door tie back, but I knew that in advance and used one of the clothes pegs I would have brought to dry spare socks on my pack.
My experience with single 'side entrance' tents like the Akto and Enan are that in high winds you end up turning the tent 30-40 degrees to avoid getting out directly in to the wind/being able to cook properly, in which case you've expanded the tent profile and end up taking more force on the tent as a while. The downside is this makes it more noisy (and the Akto in particular is incredibly noisy in a gale) however the strength is more from the fabric strength and good poles than anything else. For two person tents like the MSR Hubba the profile is similar regardless of how you turn the tent so it matters less (you can still use at least one door even if the wind changes direction), however most of those I wouldn't describe as 4-season unless they've got a fairly sturdy frame (which won't be light).
Of course if you want a true Scottish winter shelter you might as well bring a snow shovel and leave your tent at home
Best all rounder is probably the Scarp 1 with extra poles but it's fairly spendy, as are the other options that are light yet strong enough to do well in a storm. If I was buying another tent it'd either be a Trekkertent Stealth 1.5 or a Hilleberg Unna, leaning towards the Unna for cozy 2-person use for when I'm next able to go camping in Finland. The Trekkertent in particular is made for UK conditions (though doesn't seem especially storm proof) and worth a look, it's super light.
