Succeeded Evan Tyler and printed for the government. 'Tyler made over part of his forfeited gift to some Stationers in London, who sent down upon us Christopher Higgins and some English servants with him.' “Watson”. This was about 1652, and the Leith tracts of 1652-54 were probably printed by Higgins, though his name does not appear until 1655, by which time he was in Edinburgh. Though he printed under his own name, Watson's statement is probably correct, and he was succeeded by a 'Society of Stationers' in 1660. His wife Jean Banks buried in Greyfriars Churchyard 8 February 1662; his child 20 February 1662; and 'Christopher Higgins Printer to His Majesty' 18 October 1668.
