If you are going to be up in February, the temperatures will generally be in the area where winter tyres will perform better than summer - and thats before you get onto snow. I went over Beattock pass weekend before last heading south out of Scotlandshire and there was snow falling heavily and there were a few cars pointing the wrong way (on the other carriageway fortunately) whereas I cruised on (at a moderate speed,) with the car feeling pretty sure footed in about 1-2inch of slushy snow.
When I came back this Saturday just gone there was plenty of snow on the verge and the fields/hills around. So the answer, is be prepared - its still very mich winter up here at that time.
