Probably the most famous patients of Craiglockhart were the poets [[Siegfried Sassoon]] and [[Wilfred Owen]], whose poems appeared in the hospital's own magazine called ''[[The Hydra]]''. [[Wilfred Owen]] was the editor of the magazine during his stay.  Siegfried Sassoon was sent to Craiglockhart, as a response to his "Soldier's Declaration", an anti-war letter.  He later wrote about his experiences at the hospital in his semi-autobiographical novel, ''[[Sherston's Progress]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sites.scran.ac.uk/Warp/siegfried_sassoon.htm |website=The War Poets at Craiglockhart |title=The War Poets - Siegfried Sassoon |date= |accessdate=2013-04-05}}</ref> There is now an area within the building that celebrates the life and work of both [[Siegfried Sassoon|Sassoon]] and [[Wilfred Owen|Owen]] and their meeting at Craiglockhart.

The best known of the doctors assigned there was [[W. H. R. Rivers]].  The Hospital featured in the 1991 book ''[[Regeneration (novel)|Regeneration]]'' by [[Pat Barker]], and the [[Regeneration (1997 film)|1997 film adaptation]] by the same name, in which the institution was known as '''Craiglockhart War Hospital'''.
