Will I have to go through passport security in Amsterdam if I'm going to Edinburgh? I was told that since the UK is not in the EU, as long as I stayed on the secure side I'd not need to worry. Is that the case? First time going to UK and I have 4 hours in Amsterdam. Thanks.

What matters is whether or not a country is part of the Schengen Zone. The UK and the USA are both outside the Schengen Zone. This means you will stay in the non-Schengen Zone of the airport and don’t go thru passport control. It’s simply a matter of walking to the next gate.
