found: Jeffris family pictures from a trip to Scotland, circa 1918?

when my Bepop died last fall, I took just a few pictures from his office, and am about to take a trip back to Chicago to help clear out the place for good. Here are a few of the strange tiny brownie pictures I found. They must have been taken by a relative of my grandmother, whose family was from Scotland and the Shetland Islands. I am guessing this is about 1915-1920? Some of them are marked, so I know they visited Stirling Castle, near Edinburgh.
that's some serious gypsy business

These are fabulous, Ellie! Glad you saved them from destruction. Hope you can rescue more stuff when you're here!
Love you,
