Friends new house has pine doors skirting etc, theres quite a few surface scratches on them too and she wants to know if anyone has used anything to cover the scratches whilst also giving the pine a fresher new look. Doesnt want to use varnish but doesnt mind them being a little darker if that makes sense, thank you

Even light scratches have a depth to them Jes. Whatever you use on them is more likely to highlight them rather than lose them
Sanding is the only effective way to go.
The trouble is, it would have to be all over......... and that's a lot of sanding. Especially difficult if they're panelled doors.
for light scratches only, wirewool or "wet n' dry" sandpaper might just lose them, but I can't promise anything.
An electric sander is best though.
Whatever you use, if you don't want varnish, then I would use "Briwax" all over to finish
