Edinburgh Napier University

 We are committed to ensuring that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly and are not disadvantaged within the delivery of our services and policy making. We declared this publicly by signing the Armed Forces Covenant and were presented with a bronze award from the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme in June 2016. We were then awarded a silver award in September 2017 and in August 2019 we are proud to be awarded the Gold Award.

War Poets Collection

Craiglockhart Campus has a long association with the armed forces. During the First World War it was used as a hospital for the treatment of shell-shocked Officers. It is also where poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon met in 1917. Today it is home to the War Poets Collection which contains an array of documents, photographs, film and memorabilia. The War Poets Collection is a permanent display open to the public for self-guided visits during campus opening hours or contact warpoets@napier.ac.uk to arrange a guided visit.
