Favorite Castles near Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow and Edinburgh

Do you have any favorite Castles in or near these destinations? Why do you like them? Is it the interior, exterior, because of where it is located, etc...? We will have limited time on a British Isles cruise so I'm trying to make some decisions. Thanks. The only one I have arrangements so far to see is Cawdor Castle at the Invergordon port.

Stirling Castle.. If you have time from Edinburgh but I'm guessing you won't

For Edinburgh a lot depends on where you dock - there are at least 3 places where cruise ships dock of which only one is in, or even near, Edinburgh. Cruises for Glasgow tend to dock at Greenock which is 15 miles west of Glasgow

There are castles in the middle of Edinburgh & Dublin - can't remember their names for the moment.

Edinburgh Castle and Dublin Castle perhaps?.. for Dublin I would say Kilmainam Gaol rather than Dublin Castle.

I've seen Dublin Castle. Would you choose Sterling over Edinburgh Castle?
