In edinburgh the glass seems to get moved quickly in livingston glass can be on the path for months I thought about a brush to carry for livingston

Lots of glass spread across path on turn off to Corbiehill Avenue.
So, basically, if you're going west along Blackhall Path, and planning to take turnoff to Corbiehill Ave, you'll encounter it.
If not, you should be fine.
PS I've tweeted the west team about it.

Lots of freshly-smashed glass across the whole path at both ends of the small bridge over Crewe Road North, near the Red Bridge this morning (Thurs 18th).
I was alerted to the fact in advance by a rider who had stopped and was rotating his front wheel checking it as I approached. I realised what he was doing shortly after passing him when I saw the piles of glass ahead. Stopped the bike, git off and carried it over the wee bridge before remounting.
Will be reporting to the relevant council team.
EDIT: Crewe Road North is North Team's area, so reported to them via Twitter. Location of glass is: https://goo.gl/maps/zDKxaTQNUzC2

Significantly less glass there now, but still a few bits in cracks and at the sides.

Thanks for the info, @wingpig. Even bigger thanks due if it was you and your brush that got rid of it!
No response at all from the North Team yet (13:03).

Fairly significant amount of glass on NEPN between Drylaw and Red Bridge. Have reported via fix my street, so see if that helps.

Yep, got hit by the p' fairies yesterday. Pretty sure it was a delayed reaction from glass picked up on the NEPN.
Must remember to go and buy a brush.
Also discovered that my kit had no solvent, only massive patches left, and the patches were so stuck to the foil it just disintegrated, leaving a useless patch

I reported it to @edinhelp on Twitter yesterday evening too. Hope it will have been swept by home time...

@neddie A wallpaper paste brush is flat and wide and bag-friendly, with bristles well-suited for flicking glass out if rutty bits of path.
I'm not commuting this week but shall pop along there with my brush if I get a spares twenty minutes.Posted 5 years ago # -
I came across 4 broken bottles all over NCN1 between Craigleith and Ravelston Dykes on my way into town this morning. I've done my best to sweep the glass to the side (in the absence of a brush - may well take up wingpig's suggestion above in future...), but I didn't manage a terribly good clearance of the one at the bottom of the steep/ rough path up to RD (brown glass, and nowhere easy to sweep it to). Take care if you are heading up/ down there.
I've reported to @edin_help on Twitter.

Patch just south of the Drylaw flytip bridge and the patch just south of Craigleith now clear. I only joined at West Granton Access so haven't done any patches clockwise from the red bridge yet.

Think that counts as a "spotted" then, because I shouted "cheers!" to you at Craigleith this morning!

2 patches of glass this morning, between Red Bridge & Ainslie Park
Posted 4 years ago # -
I counted about 5 patches between Red Bridge & Ainslie Park.
Managed to clear up a fair bit of it with ma brush. Mad as a brush.
Started to get tired after about the 3rd patch, heading West, so would be good if others(?) could brush from the Red Bridge end.
Who'd a thunk brushing glass was hard work?
Also, Telfer path still quite bad, as is Leamington Bridge.
Now away to de-glass mes pneus

Lot of beer bottles out the woolfords to auchengray road. Budweiser (American one I do not like- Czech / American one I do like Budvar though preferred when came in bigger brown bottles than the wee green ones) That was yesterday. Cows will have trampled them now I fear. THe cows walk up the Road to be milked.
Further into South Lanarkshire around the Carstairs Esker, the fields are strewn with Buckfast bottles. At least the Buckie Brigade can fling over fences when chucking out the windows of their motors

Where does EEN journalist Helen Martin live?

I'm sure her column used to be titled "Bitching from Bruntsfield" but she may have moved since!

Watch out if you're thinking of using the bridge over the NEPN/Hawthornvale Path by North Fort St to get to the toucan crossing. Some sort of pub beer garden has been put there, so watch out for non-distancing unmasked people and smashed glass.

Loads of glass on the Telford path under the wee overbridge at Easter Drylaw park
Very hard to avoid
Remind me on Tuesday and I’ll bring me brush

Already brushed; I passed under there this morning.
I wonder if the use of glass in conjunction with grass cuttings and eggs is deliberate, or merely an unfortunate coincidence which results in partially-baked-in-place glass shards.
Just as I was pondering whether a red reflective triangle would be useful when sweeping near blind corners, a pair in racing costumes whooshed around the corner, two abreast.Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks wingpig

Eggs?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Lots of broken bits of eggshell near the glass and some of the glass was sort of stuck. Occasionally see broken eggs on paths, presumably from oaf-activity rather than shopping mishaps?

Thought you might mean the dog sort - in grass by accident or design!

Dog eggs?

Was a phrase a CCEer used to use, ‘politely’.
