The accession numbers of two stone axes from Sunnybrae in Inverurie Museum are PEHMS: I 1827 & I 3172. The former is an axe that was found in 1887 and donated by Miss Duguid in 1968, the latter is a possible axe rough-out and was donated in 1900, formerly being part of the Kerr Collection. The accession number of a stone macehead donated by Miss Duguid in 1968 is not known. The collection of Inverurie Museum has been re-catalogued, but the new catalogue is incomplete and there is no easy system of identifying the new accession number.
Another stone axe from Sunnybrae, which was an exhibit in the Scottish Exhibition of National History, Art and Industry, held in Glasgow in 1911, is now in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow (Acc. No: B.1951.56).
