[swinny]

depends how straight it is, and how decent lenghts you can get from it, bars and rails etc.... anything 6" down or bent all over is logs Probabilly to small of volume though

It's very sappy, but good for cladding. In big enough sizes it can be used for construction.

They're big enough to be worth milling and Scots pine is general construction timber (aka European redwood). You'd get some nice width floorboards out of that lot, and probably fairly dense growth on the later years at least. It's the kind of thing you need for certain restoration jobs, but I'm not sure where you'd go to sell them as a small lot.

Watch out for blue stain on it. Don't leave it sitting for long before milling. Not a fan of it myself - sappy as hell, quite hard to cut really. Give me a nice Oak stick any day.
