Until this point, the view from the lane is of fields on one side and whins on the other, but as you draw level with the whins the Balmoral Subsea Test Centre comes into view and dominates the scene. I am no expert but I think the yellow objects are floats which are used at depth to hold up off the sea floor the cables used for tethering oil rigs. If I am wrong, I hope someone will tell me!
