Annoyingly, it probably has to be England. It would be closer owing to the greater snowfall in Scotland, except that Scotland's major cities, with the exception of Aberdeen, tend not to exceed their English counterparts by a great deal (if at all) when it comes to snowfall. So you have to really go to the Highlands or Aberdeenshire in order to really experience the benefit of our northerly position, in winter.
Added to that, most of England is obviously warmer in the spring and summer, sunnier year round and being nearer the continent, more likely to experience thunderstorms. They also seem to get more intense rain events, regardless of season, despite much of western Scotland having such high annual rainfall.

Excuse my geography but is Aberdeenshire a part of the highlands?

Most of it isn't truly part of the highlands, but parts of western Aberdeenshire would be considered 'the highlands'. Much of the lower ground still gets fairly respectable snowfall, by UK standards.
Isn't Buxton A small Town?It wouldnt fare well against Towns In aberdeenshire or highlands when it comes to snow.
Maybe not. And thank fekin god for that.
