We will be coming from Paris to London and then immediately heading to Edinburgh. For booking train tickets, how much time should we give ourselves between arriving in London and departing for Edinburgh? Will 0.5 hour or 1 hour be sufficient? Or should we give ourselves extra time in case the Eurostar train from Paris is late?

You should be good if you give yourself an hour, the Eurostar arrives at St Pancras and the train leaves from Kings Cross which is right there.

Even though you can walk from St Pancras International to King's Cross in less than ten minutes, I recommend that you allow one hour for your total connection time. It will take some time to exit your Eurostar car, find your way out of the station, walk between stations, retrieve your tickets, find the platform from which your train to Edinburgh will depart, and find your car.
