Scottish dialect: muddy, slimy, dirty, or covered with glaur; having the consistency or appearance of mire or sticky mud.
From glaur (mud/slime) + -y (adjective-forming suffix). Scottish dialect builds descriptive words directly from tactile substances and conditions.
When someone describes a road as 'glaury,' they're painting a vivid picture of that specific slippery, sticky, gross mud texture that makes walking miserable—one word does what English needs three for.
