The village has kept its character and charm, along with hotel, church, village hall, shop and school. Borgue Primary School today was the famous 'Borgue Academy' of the 19th century. In the past the farmers produced milk in abundance and the cottagers were skilled beekeepers. Thus Borgue became known as The Land of Milk and Honey. Their honey gained a national reputation.
