The Blues managed to get the first points of the game on the scoreboard in just the third minute but Edinburgh answered back with an identical score.
The second half saw Andy Kelly force his way through to put Edinburgh within sight of winning the game.
But then disaster struck for Edinburgh as two tries from the Blues in injury time denied Edinburgh the win and any bonus points they might have hoped for.
Edinburgh suffered another blow tonight as Scotland back-row Ally Hogg sustained a new injury worry and hobbled off the pitch after just six minutes.
