Probably a really stupid question

I'm a private pilot(VFR) flying my Maule out off a farm strip here in the glens of Angus. I lived for many years and learned to fly in the US and am now flying here in Scotland, I have this nagging question about which way to turn if in the unfortunate (and extremely unlikely)event I am in a mid-air head on situation. I was trained to fly to the right in this situation. Is this a universal "rule" or is this just in the US where I assume it is the natural reaction based on the side of the road they drive on there. Whereas here in the UK I assume instinct would probably be to turn to the left? Or is there no hard and fast rule?

Any ideas
