A 75-minute connection time at London Heathrow Airport for an international to domestic transfer may be possible, but it may be tight depending on various factors, such as the terminal and gate locations, immigration and customs clearance, security checks, and potential flight delays.

When you arrive at Heathrow, you will need to follow the signs for connecting flights, go through security screening, and potentially pass through immigration and customs, depending on your citizenship and travel itinerary. You will also need to make your way from the arrival terminal to the departure terminal for your onward flight to Edinburgh. This can involve using the airport shuttle train, walking, or taking a bus.

It is important to note that Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and can experience significant congestion and delays, particularly during peak travel periods. If you are delayed in any part of the process, it may affect your ability to make your connecting flight.

Therefore, I recommend checking the flight status regularly before your travel date and contacting British Airways to inquire about the possibility of changing to a later connecting flight if necessary.

At a minimum, I'd say you should plan for one hour for domestic layovers and two hours for international layovers. What is this? But this is not a hard, fast rule! If you have to go through security again on a domestic layover, you might need more time.
