In addition, most council's will have an online map of where the (known) grit boxes are located with a link to have them refilled if necessary.
Edinburgh Council even has the facility to request a grit box if there's none suitably local to you.
Re refilling, locally (Corstorphine), there's various FB groups with neighbours moaning about their local bins being empty. Why wait until the freeze to have them filled, they've probably been empty since last winter, and they'll have been emptied by themselves!
Sometimes a little proactive action by the immediate local community can go a long, long, way.
There's a grit bin close to me, it is on a bridge which will be liable to ice. I've seen a particular car stop beside it a few times this winter and fill buckets in the boot.
