As the Tweet announced less than an hour ago: "The Scotsman's revolving door has smashed to smithereens. Nobody knows why. Naturally we are all staring at the carnage."

But on this occasion, it is, thankfully, no metaphor for jobs cuts; the revolving door at The Scotsman's Edinburgh HQ has actually been smashed.

By accident, so allmediascotland hears. Something was jammed, someone pushed harder and harder, somehow it all gave way.
