If you are not excluding Ireland than Tievebulliagh is relatively close to and west of Dunfries .
It's with reference to Tievebulliagh that I'm enquiring :-) I'll be up there soon and my next book is on Antrim, so there's the link. I was wondering about cross-water parallels. Langdale is quite a bit south of Antrim.
There is always Rathlin Island , Antrim too .I think Burl mentions Tievebulliagh axes having been found in Aberdeenshire . The Blackhouse Burn enclosure near Biggar may have had /fondsdeposits too iirc .

I know all the Antrim sources (I think) - The Irish Stone Axe Project is quite comprehensive, but I'm looking for papers about sources on mainland GB and the spread of GB axes for comparison.

Where does Burl mention that Antrim axes were found in Aberdeenshire? I only have a wodge of his stone circle/Brittany/Avebury books.
