    A coach to Edinburgh would take around 6-7 hours each way, I am not sure your parents would thank you for that! How about getting a Cross Country train direct to Edinburgh(4 hours), possibly buy them advance First class tickets for a little extra comfort and free nibbles and book a hotel directly. It depends of course when they are travelling, Edinburgh in August is heaving and expensive because of the festivals but before or after, partiucularly mid week you ought to be able to find them reasonable accommodation at a not too expensive price.Advance train tickets normally go on sale 12 weeks ahead of travel and get more expensive as the weeks pass
