Borgie is a hamlet in Sutherland, beside the River Borgie as it flows northwards to the north coast of the county and of Great Britain. The coast in Torrisdale Bay is just a mile downstream of Borgie.

The hamlet features an area known as Borgie Wood or The Millennium Forest. The forest area was established under the 'Millennium Forest for Scotland' project, which looked to develop natural areas for the turn of the New Millennium.
