Scyld wouldn't have been involved with the burning. Following Linduial's kidnapping and rescue, Scyld's impulse was to get away from there - he only came back when he found out the place was being inhabited again. Those several months are something of a blank spot in his story right now, but I wouldn't say anything very important happened then.
However, it could be very interesting if he were accused of it (maybe by the true culprit?) - he certainly has a motive, and if it comes out how much of his past he's been hiding he'd look extremely suspicious, I'd imagine.
