Before You Go

These two artillery bastions and length of curtain wall on St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly belong to a fort begun - despite its name - in 1551, during the reign of King Edward VI. This fort was left unfinished when the headland now known as The Garrison was chosen as the site of the islands' main fortress, Star Castle.
