Bermuda was settled by the Kingdom of England (which, it should be noted, included Wales as a principality) in 1609 (officially in 1612). When that merged with the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707 to create the Kingdom of Great Britain, Bermuda became British. When Ireland was officially incorporated within the union in 1800, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, it remained British. In 1927, following most of Ireland becoming the Irish Free State, and before its becoming completely independent in 1937, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Bermuda remained British.

Today Bermuda remains an overseas territory (ie. colony) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It should be noted that its law is based on English law, and its real attachment is with England. If the SNP follow through successfully with its promise to take Scotland into independence, Scotland will not take a share of Bermuda, which would revert, presumably, to being an English colony...even if the rump state is referred to as the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland.
