I'm guessing your route was under the Edinburgh CTA with base 2500ft to the south east of Cumbernauld, and you inadvertently flew above 2500?
I'd suggest best procedure if that was your route would be to listen out on 121.205 and set their listening squawk 0440. That way, if you're sticking to your plan there's no need to speak to them, and if they are concerned about your altitude they can call you direct. Only drawback is that it can be very very busy on the EDI Radar frequency so you have to be listening hard all the time in case they call you.
