Just remember the Phony War rules-if this is how it goes, it passes muster, just something to be careful of.

6. Check for Phony War: If the declaration of war was against
   Scotland or Venice and a major power intervened, add a “Phony
   War –1 VP” marker to the Bonus VP box of the declaring power.
   That power loses this VP until the marker is removed. Remove the
   marker once a land combat or assault occurs between that declaring
   power and either the target minor or the major power who intervened
   on behalf of that minor. If peace is made with the intervening major
   power before such a combat or assault occurs, the –1 VP becomes
   permanent.

If he attacks Edinburgh, there’s no phony war. Phony war is there to prevent, say, me from DoWing Venice just so the Papacy can get it. It does not prevent me from intervening and throwing Scotland’s defenses.
