Hugh Town, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly

Hugh Town is located on St Mary’s, the largest island in the Isles of Scilly. It is the only urban settlement in the islands and functions as the ‘capital’, with a range of administrative, commercial and service functions. It is an important centre for the islands’ tourist industry, both in terms of accommodation and services and as the focus for sea and air links with the mainland and for inter-island marine traffic. Hugh Town developed as a town and port from the early 17^th century, following construction of the Elizabethan defences on the Hugh. It became the main commercial and administrative centre for the islands, developing as a resort from the later 19^th century.
