Discover the cliff-fringed harbor of Portree, Scotland
With a harbor fringed by cliffs, Portree is the largest town on Scotland’s most famous of islands, the Isle of Skye. Built around its harbor, Portree is a bustling port town, thriving cultural center and popular destination for travelers.
Portree boasts excellent leisure facilities, including the award-winning Aros Centre, which runs regular theatre, concerts and film screenings, pony-trekking and boat cruises plus plenty of shopping opportunities. The town is a popular base for exploring the rest of the island. Many visitors are drawn to the spectacular scenery of the Trotternish Ridge to the north: this is wild country dominated by weird and wonderful rock formations such as the Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock and the truly extraordinary pinnacles of the Quiraing.

The Story of Knock
Visit Knock a major pilgrimage and prayer site in Ireland, attracting over 1.5 million pilgrims each year.
The Story of Knock began on a rainy evening over a hundred years ago, when 15 people witnessed the apparition of Our Lady, Saint Joseph, and Saint John the Evangelist at the south gable end of the local small parish church. They stood in the pouring rain for over two hours, overwhelmed by the miraculous apparition, reciting the Rosary, a traditional Catholic prayer. From this miraculous apparition, Knock has grown to the status of an internationally recognized Marian Shrine.
The personal pilgrimage of Pope John Paul II in 1979 inspired an even greater devotion to the Shrine and endorsed the indelible seal of Vatican approval. Knock Shrine was also visited by Mother Teresa of Calcutta in 1993. Every year, the Knock Shrine is visited by 1.5 million pilgrims."
The Knock Shrine is a new stop on Celtic Tours World Vacations’ Celtic Dream Tour of Ireland. Visit the Knock Shrine on your next tour of Ireland with Celtic Tours.
