This fine reel appears on, inter alia, Natalie MacMaster's CD 'No Boundaries'. Advanced search suggests it is not on this site - I found the ABC and some notes on the Fiddler's Companion site:
BRIDGE OF BAMORE, THE. Scottish (originally), Canadian; Reel. Canada; Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island.

I don't see any reason to frown upon it as long as you state your source, which you did, so good on you.
