Scottish ATC - "FL70 by Tartan"

Just a quickie for those ATCOs in Scottish....we operate into EDI a lot and often get given a level restriction of FL70 by Tartan. We get handed over to to EDI radar though before we get there and usually get further descent clearance from them to an altitude.

Question is.....technically** the clearance from EDI absolves us from the level restriction so why is it issued?

**Note: I have seen the CAA document that deals with the general issue of the requirement to maintain a level restriction when re-cleared by another controller, but can't remember which one it was....
