The new £50 notes will feature Alan Turing (whilst HMG proposes bans on Turing complete computers AND working crypto)

They still exist, but they hardly circulate. When you combine the acceptability of high denomination notes and the general problems people outside Scotland have with Scottish notes, then they have very few uses.

The only times I’ve seen them is in the form of a raffle- a £100 note behind a glass frame, with its serial numbers covered- for £1, guess the last 3 digits of the serial number, and win the note.
