2 nights - taking ferry from Dublin and driving to Edinburgh then fly back to Dublin Thursday am
Have you already booked the ferry and rental car? I was just through there (Belfast to Cairnryan) and I don't believe getting a rental car on the coast of western Scotland was an option(I could be wrong). With the ferry, bus, car rental, drive, you're looking at at least a 10 hour trip one way.

Looking at the Stena Line site, you can't take a ferry from Dublin to Cairnryan (coastal town in Scotland), you can only ferry from Dublin to Holyhead in Wales.
So you'd have to take a train to Belfast, hop on the ferry, get on a bus to basically Glasgow and rent a car to drive to Edinburgh.
You're better off flying both ways if you must see Edinburgh. We only spent a day there and it was cool to see, but lots of tourists. I enjoyed Scottish highlands and isles (Oban, Skye, Inverness is where we stayed overnights) significantly more than Belfast or Edinburgh. But a two day jaunt to the highlands would be a whirlwind mess itself.
