Isn't there a coach service between the two airports? Maybe following up and highlighting that scheduled travel time as an addition could be helpful. But could be complicated if you didn't actually travel between the two.

(I can imagine BA will take position it was a voluntary reroute though, as they did offer a flight to EDI which would have qualified for compensation. So without proof, e.g. coach ticket with time stamp or similar, to support an EDI arrival time...)

I think you can plausibly argue that you were more than 3 hours late getting to EDI, given the re-routing, but you will need to point out that this is based on your booked end point rather than GLA. The amount is either 250€ (late shorthaul) or 300€ (late longhaul) depending on your point of view, or even 600€ if you argue you were more than 4 hours late. So have another go at it, write a short note back to BA, and be prepared to push for a better outcome.
