Tilting, an outport on the east coast of Fogo Island, was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002. The federal designation cites its "landscape illustrating adaptations of Irish settlement patterns, both in its family neighbourhood clusters around the harbour and its remarkable fenced gardens," and the fact that it is "a rare surviving example of a Newfoundland outport where the use of its landscape components has been very largely maintained from at least the mid-18th century" — "a rare example of an outport that retains both a virtually complete range of traditional buildings and spaces associated with Newfoundland's inshore fishery, and their traditional interrelationships." source
