Scotland's "Central Belt" — stretching between the Lowlands and the Highlands — is home to many of its most interesting sights, all within day-tripping distance of either Edinburgh or Glasgow. In this travel talk, Rick Steves' Europe travel expert Julia Reams-Giersch describes the historic castle at Stirling, the charming village of Culross, the birthplace of golf (and the Church of Scotland) at St. Andrews, the rejuvenated industrial burg of Dundee (with the HMS Discovery), and the fascinating Crannog Centre, for a peek at Stone Age Scotland.
