Perched on the highest hill of Somerset Island, Fort Scaur was constructed to defend the nearby Royal Naval Dockyard from potential threats following the American Civil War. Though it saw little military action, the fort remains a striking example of Bermuda’s defensive architecture. Today, visitors can explore its robust stone walls and strategic layout while enjoying panoramic views that make it one of the island’s premier vantage points. The sweeping vistas and historical significance offer a unique glimpse into Bermuda’s past and present.
