@HLTClick here, and look at the pronunciation key - it uses a z. Then click on the loudspeaker to hear it being said wrongly.
Most non-Scots (and also some natives now too) that I've encountered pronounce it zyne. I don't know how this came about. After all, nobody talks about a road zign, or a zine wave, do they?
Edit @DG - You can be an honorary Scot. All people down as far as Teesside qualify automatically. Others are selected on an individual basis.
