Pretty Scottish girls names

We gave DS a very Scottish name with a Gaelic spelling (Ruairidh) which I still love, and which he suits. Now I'm completely stuck for Scottish girls names. DH is adamant that it be a Scottish name.

I'm really struggling to find Scottish girls names that sound pretty and elegant. They all either feel really harsh or quite chavvy. Any ideas?

Another vote for Catriona! I know a gorgeous
wonderful Catriona in her twenties. It ages beautifully

I've never been a fan of Catriona. Sounds clunky.

Morven is my favourite on this thread.
