Castlereagh

Castlereagh is an area on the south-eastern edge of Belfast in Northern Ireland, named after the castle, in Irish An Caisleán Riabhach, 'the grey castle', that was the seat of the O'Neills of Clandeboye. The castle stood on high ground overlooking Belfast. The name was later used as a title by the Stewart family, as with Viscount Castlereagh, the British foreign secretary.
