help me choose, Cambridge or Edinburgh

Cambridge is colder than Edinburgh - the winds whistle across the Gog Magog hills.  Just saying....

you'd be lucky to find a garden shed for 200k in Cambridge

I’ve just done a Rightmove search on Cambridge.  There are 90 properties for maximum £200k including a 3  bedroomed house.

In Edinburgh there are 339 properties.

Does that help?

Another thing to think about is the prospect of Scottish independence, and how that would sit with you.

That's a good point. I know people who ended up selling their flat in Edinburgh to become part of a foreign consulate, which could presumably end up as part of a embassy.
Not much potential for that in Cambridge.

You  didn't say which Cambridge, 

3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Bristol Road, Cambridge, Gloucester, GL2 (rightmove.co.uk)

Or forget the Bridge and move to Cam.  Easy place to spell!

...Scottish rates of income tax might be a more immediate concern/benefit!

To someone with no income? Perhaps absence of chains, gazumping and leasehold tenure might be more relevant, along with the uplift of being in a new national capital city.
