I would say 'sclator' ie 'slater'... it looks like a Scottish record - also looks like writer does not cross 't's.

Yes, I also think it's sclator. There is a useful glossary on Scotland's People. https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/glossary/S?&page=1

Thank you Josey & Jen B,
I too thought it looked like sclator, but didn't know about the glossary in Scotland's People - so thank you for that info too.
