Script tags embedded in MVC3 Razor views

First MVC project, just curious what the best way to manage this is.

All of my views that I'm creating contain the following 

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

I would prefer to keep my js before my closing body tag. I know I can obviously move this to my layout.cshtml file, but I imagine there's a more elegant MVC/Razor way to do this (especially if I have view-specific files that I don't want to load globally).

How can I accomplish this?

I put my global scripts inside _Layout.cshtml, and then define a section for scripts I only want to include from certain views.

E.g. in layout.cshtml

<body>
...
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/global1.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/global2.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
@RenderSection("FooterScripts", false)
</body>
</html>

and then in the views if I need a script I don't want to include globally:

@section FooterScripts
{
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/local.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
}
