Fort King George
Fort King George was strategically built at the top of Scarborough Hill to give unrestricted view of
Scarborough and the environs in the event of an impending enemy attack from the sea. On the
grounds of this well-maintained fort, you will find an officer’s mess, belltank, barracks, gun powder
room, punishment cells and a lighthouse - all reminders of bygone years. The pristine setting is a
favourite of locals and visitors who come here to re-visit history but also to enjoy the well-manicured
surroundings and the panoramic view. Today, the fort is the site of the Tobago Museum.
