About Stonefield Hill
Overshadowed by the massive ego of its neighbor Ben Vorlich, Stonefield Hill is the quieter, eastern companion that actually knows where the best views of Loch Earn are hidden. It's a stout Graham Top that offers a rugged, often pathless escape from the Munro-bagging crowds near St Fillans.

- •Geologically, this hill forms part of the Dalradian Supergroup, showcasing the ancient metamorphic rocks that define the southern Highlands' rugged character.
- •It serves as a vital eastern buttress for Ben Vorlich, acting as a natural balcony for those looking down the length of Loch Earn toward Strathearn.
- •The summit height of 769.6 meters places it comfortably above the Graham threshold, though most hikers barely notice they've peaked while trudging toward the main event.
- •The surrounding glens were historically frequented by Macgregor outlaws, making the 'wild' terrain a literal sanctuary for those avoiding the reach of the law.
- •Navigating the 'stone fields' that likely gave it its name is less of a geological study and more of a masterclass in how to twist an ankle while distracted by a sandwich.
