I got quoted £70 for general scrap in central Scotland last week. Safe to say it’s still on the farm.

You should charge VAT and it goes on top of the price not taken out of it. I guess it means it has to go on the books as a sale but as it is straight in the bank how else would you account for it.

What happens if you give the scrap you a family member not involved in the business as a gift?

Depends on what it is, if its your old tumble dryer that you didnt claim VAT on when bought you can have the money tax free, if its a rubbish tractor that you did claim VAT on then its Vatable and goes through the books.

What licences do you need to take your own scrap in
Heard of a few people being pulled up for not having a waste carriers licence

That's for carrying other people's scrap. You're fine carting your own in but only your own.

I'm sure father needs one of those when he goes to a farm sale!

What grade do people put farm scrap in as? Whenever I weigh anything in at one of the yards round Hastings they always want to put it in as "light iron". If there's no fence wire or old white goods in amongst it, what grade should farm scrap be?

Unless they check it all I suspect they put farm stuff as all the same typical mix, IE fence wire at the bottom!
