Be aware that accommodation can be frighteningly expensive in Edinburgh at that time but if you book early you should be able to find something reasonable.

Edinburgh is a tadge busy in August.
I doubt you'll get a hotel deal in and around Edinburgh even booking early as the hoteliers are aware of the Festivals. You could still get something in Glasgow which is only 50mins by train and you really don't want to drive in Edinburgh then anyway
