Because Edinburgh (or Leith), and more importantly Rosyth, were major Royal Navy ports during the war and shipping would often anchor in the Forth before moving onto destinations further south and north.
The Luftwaffe also wanted to stretch Britain's air defenses as much as possible, especially in the summer of 1940 - in fact the Battle of Britain was said to have actually have begun over the Firth of Forth when Spitfire's from the City of Edinburgh intercepted a German raid attacking shipping at anchor in the firth.
Over the coming weeks, the German suffered very heavy losses during daylight attacks and therefore switched to mostly night time raids against the area to try to disrupt shipping.
