Borgie (Scottish Gaelic: Borghaidh) is a hamlet in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland. Historically it was part of the 12,600-acre (5,100-hectare) Tongue estate with shooting rights, and it contains the Borgie Lodge, now a bed and breakfast. Borgie is noted for its salmon, which are caught in the nearby River Borgie.
The hamlet was affected by the Highland Clearances, the cleared crofting village being resettled in the early 20th century.
