Birchfield Platform railway station, Birchfield Halt railway station or Birchfield Siding railway station[2] served the rural area near Glen of Rothes House, Moray, Scotland, from 1871 to 1956 on the Morayshire Railway. 1884 is another suggested opening date; however, it contradicts the map evidence. This was an intermediate station on the Craigellachie-Elgin line of the former Great North of Scotland Railway that had originally been opened by the Morayshire Railway on 1 January 1862.[3]
