A really long time ago I wrote a translator from Logo to Scheme: http://web.archive.org/web/20071231105705/http://www.colorst... – it translates fairly directly, and so it uses lexical scoping. The version is also lisp-2 by default, but has a lisp-1 option.

Yes, NetLogo is lexically scoped, and it has first-class functions (we call them "tasks") and higher-order functions. But it isn't homoiconic (unlike e.g. Berkeley Logo) so it doesn't really qualify as a Lisp IMO.
