Phrase looks like more like'Natro Sponsor' to me.

In isolation you might say that, but compare the "N" in Nov[embe]r on the line above, and Named on the line below; also look at March on the same line. I think there's an "e" on the end of Sponsor, but it's a bit indistinct where the page goes darker.

The Burne thing's a bit strange, there is a Burnhead but that's a mile away & in New Monkland parish.
Wester Moffat's quite specific, Moffat's a little to the west of there & also a paper mill on the North Calder. Easter Moffat's a Big Hoose! There's a Burnybrae but that's a mile & a half to the south, near Chapelhall.

Thanks to all of you for your kind assistance.

This might be the place you are looking for.  I found Wester Moffat on this series of maps at NLS, and on this sheet just south of it, there is a house called Burn.
