Default Will a yurt stand this climate?

Hello, I'm a new member to these forums and very glad I've found this online community! I have landed on a piece of land on the Scottish westcoast and this year I would like to build myself a safe and liveable home there. I'm very attracted to the option of a 16 or 18ft yurt, but I'm needing some advice on whether a yurt will last here in this rough coastal climate. Storms are very regular here, as are gales of 100+ mph during which all ferry services are cancelled. We get lashing rains here too and the occasional hailstorms. We're in a woodland area right near the sea, I can find a site which is somewhat sheltered, but the options I have are all unprotected towards at least one side.

Anyone who has experience with a yurt in a stormy climate and can give me some idea on whether it's advisable or not?

Thank you!
