The document summarizes information about Glasgow Cathedral, including its history, restoration process, contemporary uses, surrounding points of interest, and plans to increase tourism. It notes that Saint Mungo founded the cathedral in the 6th century and the oldest parts date to the 13th century, and that restoration in the 1990s carefully repaired and replaced stones while maintaining historical accuracy. Plans to attract more visitors include promoting the cathedral and surrounding areas as a "Cathedral Experience" and offering overnight stays at the on-site hotel.
