Buzza Tower, Grade II listed tower on St. Mary's, England.
Standing on Buzza Hill, the stone tower features sheltered seating areas and provides views across the surrounding Isles of Scilly landscape.
Originally constructed as a windmill in 1821, the structure was transformed into a memorial for King Edward VII during its 1912 restoration.
The tower represents the architectural evolution of St. Mary's, reflecting the community's connection to both maritime heritage and industrial history.
The tower contains a camera obscura installed in 2014, allowing visitors to observe real-time projections of the surrounding environment.
The structure's transformation from windmill to memorial and current status as an observation point demonstrates the adaptability of historical buildings.
