Three stone axes from Traprain Law are held in the Royal Museum of Scotland under accession numbers NMS GVN 6, 9 and 10. The first two have been petrologically attributed to group VI (artifacts of epidotized intermediate tuff of the Borrowdale Volcanic Series from the Great Langdale and Scafell areas of Cumbria); the third may belong to group XXIV, which comprises objects of calc-silicate hornfels from the axe-factory at Creag na Caillich, Killin (NN53NE 1).
