Edinburgh began as a fort. Castle Rock is an easily defended position so from earliest times it was the site of a fort. In the 7th century the English captured this part of Scotland and they called this place Eiden's burgh (burgh is an old word for fort). In the 10th century the Scots re-captured the area. Late in the 11th century King Malcolm III built a castle on Castle Rock and a small town grew up nearby. By the early 12th century Edinburgh was a flourishing community.

Wikipedia doesn't seem to know either.I don't think it was founded.It was more like it just happened over a number of centuries.
It was Edin, the founder of the Tartan Skirt, later renamed the Kilt as it came extremely popular with the male gender, as recognition of this garment they named a town after him - alas Edinburgh. :)
