Succession and Scotland: Logan Roy and the art of 'nation branding'

Retrieved on: 
Monday, May 15, 2023

Succession follows the sparring Roy family and their eccentric partners.

Key Points: 
  • Succession follows the sparring Roy family and their eccentric partners.
  • Succession’s representation of Dundee offers a glimpse of the unique Scottish city known for “jute, jam and journalism” that both Logan Roy and Brian Cox call their hometown.
  • In contrast, the episode culminates in lavish scenes at V&A Dundee, launched in 2018 as part of Dundee’s contentious waterfront “redevelopment”.
  • The scene’s touristic tone differs to moments of reflection in the episode, when Logan wistfully recalls the Dundee of yesteryear.

Logan Roy’s Scotland

    • They’re perhaps best articulated in a scene in which Logan indignantly declares: “The water used to taste sensational … it’s changed.” The moment foreshadows some of Logan’s final words in season four.
    • Shortly before his death, he wistfully reflects on life with his bodyguard, Colin (played by the aptly named Scott Nicholson).
    • Succession’s venture into Scotland toys with a romanticised “rags to riches” storyline, but moves beyond this simple take to instead poke fun at stereotypical perceptions of the place.

Scotland and the art of ‘nation branding’

    • When recently re-watching Succession from the beginning (again), I was reminded of my time at Washington DC’S Library of Congress.
    • I was there researching the history of advertising in the UK and the US, as part of my study of the ways that big brands are monitoring us.
    • As Succession portrays, international perceptions of Scotland often invoke a sense of novelty.
