I have also been asked to pose for a photo with Japanese tourists in Fort William.
Precisely my experience too, Alex. Tartan, plain and even Utilikilts have caused me to be photographed by and with tourists in Edinburgh - especially anywhere near the Castle. The Japanese are those most likely to grab their cameras quickly and politely ask for photographs. I have also been very much aware of having video cameras following me, but owners of those never seem to ask if I have any objections - not that I would - they just point and shoot!!
