The young Scots had negotiated their way through the group stage with a 3-2 win over Cartouche MB, including a Katie McCallum double and one from McKie; a 5-0 success over HB Abcoude that featured an Emily Dark hat-trick and another double from McKie; and a thumping 6-0 victory against Diocesan School for Girls, including two from McKie and goals for Lexi Sabatelli, Ella Watt, Maddie Cleat and McCallum.
In the semi-final, goals from Sabetelli, Watt and Kayleigh Justice led to a 3-1 win over Gronnigen.
As well as winning the gold medal, the team were also awarded the tournament Fair Play Award.
Scotland U16 Boys narrowly missed out on making it a gold medal double the national sides after losing 1-0 on penalties to Dynamo Elektrostal.
The Scots had come back from 3-0 down at half-time to level the scores at 3-3.
Cameron Golden finished tournament top scorer and was also awarded Player of the Tournament.
The boys topped their group after wins over Kearney (8-0), HDM (3-2), and a 2-2 draw with Manheimmer. A 7-0 win over HC Derby eased their passage to the final.
