Transiting through Scotland from a quarantined country

The Scottish government has just added Switzerland to its list of countries from which travellers from Saturday morning must enter 14 days of quarantine.

It just so happens someone is coming from Switzerland to stay at my house in England on Saturday evening.

The English list doesn't include Switzerland. However they will be entering the UK from Edinburgh Airport then taking the train down.

How does this affect the quarantine situation? Do they have to do it still as they entered in Scotland or since they're staying in England and neither Scotland or Switzerland are on England's bad list it's OK? They're thinking of cancelling thinking the rules mean they are a prisoner in Scotland for 14 days - this is absolutely not the case surely?
