How do you spell "White ring"?

My previous "online translation" sessions led me to believe that it would be Bàn ailbheag but perhaps Bàn caercall is more like it?

(Also, I would be very grateful if you could help out with the pronounciation)

Thanks in advance!

Pronunciation?

Well, since it's part scottish, just mumble unintelligibly and no one will know the difference

From what very little I know, I think "bàn caercall" is correct.

I'm pretty sure "à" is long (open your mouth and say 'ahh'), and "caercall" is a hard c followed by something like "eye." Not sure what the correct way to say the second syllable is, though. As mentioned before, mumble and maybe you'll get through it.

Some a copious amount of "bucky" and you can speak gaelic fluently...

Well yeah. You use the term "people" and "scottish" in the same context and it's bound to be in the loosest sense of the word...

Aren't there a couple shows in Scottish Gaelic, or is that more of a Welsh thing to preserve their old language?

Think there may some of both. There are definately Welsh ones. Best bit is when you in Wales and the road signs are in both Welsh and English...
