Yes! In places. Aberdeen is nearly grey free! The strategy seems to be push that line southwards. Tayside and Dundee has to be next, but the map on the page clearly indicates a chance of defending in the borders too. Great Sunday read for us all

The article actually has a lot of details about it. Essentially grey squirrels are an invasive species from the Americas and have outcompeted the red squirrels in the UK, such that they only still really exist in Scotland.
