The fishing station of Rispond is situated on the N bank of Rispond Bay. Eight roofed buildings are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet vi), and the Object Name Book (ONB) describes the village as 'This name applies to a large farm house situated on the west side of Loch Eireboll. It is one storey in height slated and in good repair. There has also been a fish curing establishment erected near the farm house, but it is only used when herrings are caught in great quantities in Loch Eireboll. The whole is on the property of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland' (Name Book 1878).
