It's very much like an officer's Dress broadsword of the mid-C19th. A descent weight for ceremonial use but you wouldn't want to use it in anger.

Not the best overview but here you go plus a couple in more detail:



Note the Cairngorm on the pommel.



Detail of the Gaelic inscription on the blade.



Roughly translated - don't draw me without cause.
