This page shows the Lindsay (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1974 to 1998. Each row below is one year in which Lindsay was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Lindsay's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.

The record for Lindsay for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Lindsay appears in 22 of them, from 1974 to 1998, with 229 babies in total. Its largest single year was 1974, when the table records 26 babies given the name, at rank 113 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1974 to 1998; years in which the table records no row for Lindsay for boys are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
