		Craiglockhart is a monstrous building with a depressing interior, but located in a lovely and serene countryside.

		Siegfried Sassoon, a soldier and famous poet, protested the war in 1917, and for this, he was sent to the mental hospital.
		Wilfred Owen, perhaps the most famous war poet of his era, was also at Craiglockhart, and was greatly influenced by his older and more experienced fellow patient, Sassoon.
		W.H.R. Rivers, a scientist known originally for anthropological studies, served as a psychiatrist at the hospital for a short period near the end of the war; nevertheless, his influence on Sassoon was substantial.

	SparkNotes: Regeneration: Plot Overview
		With the string-pulling and guidance of Robert Graves, a fellow poet and friend of Sassoon, the Board agrees to send Sassoon to Craiglockhart War Hospital—a mental facility in Scotland—rather than court-marshaling him.
		Sassoon is at first hesitant to agree to this, since he (rightly) fears that being committed to a mental hospital will undermine his cause; however, convinced by Graves that there is no other option, Sassoon agrees.
		Rivers decides to take the job in London, and leaves Craiglockhart in glory (Willard, one of his patients, has overcome his mental block and is now able to walk again).

		He rapidly became worse; his sleep, which had improved, became as bad as ever, and he was transferred to Craiglockhart War Hospital.
		It is often only by a process of prolonged re-education that it becomes possible for the patient to give up the practice of repressing war experience.

	Archaeology Dissertation on Edinburgh City Poorhouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		In 1870, the Poorhouse in Edinburgh moved from its overcrowded premises on Forrest Road, to an innovative purpose-built complex at Craiglockhart.
		Although there are some useful documents relating to Scottish Poorhouses and to Craiglockhart in particular, nothing appears to have been written about pottery in these institutions or indeed in any others operating at the same time (although some information may be forthcoming from local government reports).
		In order to look at the pottery from the midden at Craiglockhart in its wider context it has been necessary to do some exploratory work on the surfaces of middens from the nearby institutions of the former Craighouse Hospital, the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, and the City Hospital.
