Your other option is to head up the Crown Range (Mountain Road with great photo opportunities) where you have the choice of visiting either the gorgeous Cardrona Hotel or Cardrona Distillery.

1b) At the distillery, enjoy a complimentary G&T on arrival then experience a 75-minute tour with a tutored tasting with your guide.
