If money is an issue (when is it not) you may want to consider a coach.
The web site is http://www.nationalexpress.co.uk (there are other coach 
companies, but that is your best choice).  It is best to buy tickets in 
advance through the web, but if not feasible you can buy them at 
airports too (or usually you can even do so when boarding the bus 
itself, but that has to be by cash - no cards).

It is approximately 400 miles from London to Edinburgh.  This is a long 
drive and long coach trip.  Train is faster than coach but more 
expensive.  Unless you actually want a car in Edinburgh I would not 
recommend renting one.  Fuel is expensive here, and the trip to and from 
Edinburgh the fuel alone will probably cost you in excess of 50 UKP (75? 
EUR) - and that is before the cost of the car itself.

Hope this helps a little
