"Hen".  But that's because _all_ women in Scotland get called Hen.  "Nae
look, Hen, tha'ss nae the key we're playin'in , ye ken?"  (Now look, girl,
that's not what key we're planing in, you understand?).  Watch Braveheart

Incidentally, I'm not Scottish myself, I'm Welsh. I'm just a Scot by 
marriage.
