I wouldn't want to be labelled a Woman Writer even though I'm definitely not a man. And I think Scottish Writer has some unfortunate associations.
Last century when I was commissioned to write my first novel, Scottish writers were being bullied by a purple nosed publisher to write in dialect. Well my voice is authentically Scottish. I'm an educated Scottish person who escaped. My voice is as valid as a whiny cunt who lives in a council flat and doesn't quite speak English. That doesn't mean I have to sound like Evelyn Waugh either.
I'd like to be called a Good Writer. To quote a review on Amazon, "Carole Morin is a Fucking Genius. Fact." Fucking Genius will do.
