I can't comment on types as i have no clue what I have (the two trees came with the house one is a soft comice type eater and the other a cooker I feel) But I live up in Northern Denmark, (same lattitude as Aberdeen) and have two pear trees on a very exposed site. they do get some shelter but not enough to stop them both being blown over when I bought the place, I've stood them back up, cleared some of the roses from around them, dumped a bucket of ash on both and this year I got 5kg from one tree, the other produced well last year. we get down to -15 for at least a few days each winter, and it stays in the - for 2-3 months. So I think unless you're high up in the highlands pears should be possible.
